12-5 Symmetry

A transformation is a change in the position, size, or shape of a figure or graph. It is sometimes called amapping.

Examples of transformations are: translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations.

A transformation is an isometry if the size and shape ofthe figure stay the same.

Which of the transformations above are an isometry?

Translations, reflections, and rotations

A transformation is a change in the position, size, or shape of a figure or graph. It is sometimes called amapping.

Examples of transformations are: translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations.

12-5 Symmetry

Every transformation has a pre-image and an image.

• Pre-image is the original figure in the transformation (the “before”). Its points are labeled as usual.

• Image is the shape that results from the transformation (the “after”). The points are labeled with the same letters but with a ' (prime) symbol after each letter.

The angle of rotational symmetry is the smallest angle through which a figure can be rotated to coincide with itself. The number of times the figure coincides with itself as it rotates through 360° is called the order of the rotational symmetry.

Angle of rotational symmetry: 90° Order: 4
