Transformation Vocabulary

Vocabulary for translations, rotations and reflections. Dilation vocabulary also added in.

AB
Angle of RotationThe amount of rotation about a fixed point.
Congruent FiguresFigures that have the same size and shape.
Corresponding SidesSides that have the same relative positions in geometric figures.
Corresponding AnglesAngles that have the same relative positions in geometric figures.
DilationA transformation that moves each point along the ray through the point emanating from a fixed center, and multiplies distances from the center by a common scale factor.
ReflectionA transformation that "flips" a figure over a line of reflection.
Reflection LineA line that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints at a pre-image point and the image of that point after a reflection.
RotationA transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point through a given angle and a given direction.
Scale FactorThe ratio of any two corresponding lengths of the sides of two similar figures.
Similar FiguresFigures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size
TransformationThe mapping, or movement, of all the points of a figure in a plane according to a common operation.
TranslationA transformation that "slides" each point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.
