8-10 Translations, Reflections, and Rotations

A translation "slides" an object a fixed distancein a given direction.  The original object and its translation have

the same shape and size, and they face in the same direction.  The word "translate" in Latin means "carried across".

Think of polygon ABCDE as sliding two inches to the right and one inch down.  Its new

position is labeled A'B'C'D'E'.

           A translation moves an

objectwithout changing its size

or shape and without turning it or flipping it.

Remember:

Translations are SLIDES!!! Translations are SLIDES!!!

A reflection can be seen in water, in a mirror, in glass, or in a shiny surface.  An object and its reflection have the same

shape and size, but the figures face in opposite directions.  In a mirror, for example, right and left are

switched.

The line (where a mirror may be placed) is called the line of reflection.  The distance from a point to the line of reflection is the same as the distance from the point's image to the line of reflection. A reflection can be thought of as a "flipping" of an object over the line of reflection.

 Remember:Reflections are FLIPS!!!

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point called the center of rotation.  An object and its rotation

are the same shape and size, but the figures may be turned in different directions.

Remember:

Rotations are TURNS!!!

This rotation is 90 degrees counterclockwise.

Identify each type of transformation.
