transformationa change
perpendicularrays, line segments or lines that intersect at right angles
midpointthe point of a line segment that is equal from its endpoints
bisectorline, ray or line segment that intersects a line segment at its midpoint
reflectionreplacement of each point on one side of a line by the point symmetrically placed on the other side of the line.
symmetryfigure is unchanged although its position may be altered
rotationa turning around as on fixed point
tessellationcongruent copies of afigure that do not overlap

transversalline that intersects at least two other lines
