Geometry Transformation

Geometry / Math Tranformation (includes video)

  • Translation involves "sliding" the object from one position to another.
  • Reflection involves "flipping" the object over a line called the line of reflection.
  • Rotation involves "turning" the object about a point called the center of rotation.
  • Dilation involves a resizing of the object. It could result in an increase in size (enlargement) or a decrease in size (reduction).
