What is the molecular geometry of c2h4cl2?

C2H4Cl2 (dichloroethane) has tetrahedral geometry around both carbon atoms. The geometry can be changed from free rotation to restricted rotation which has the formula of C2H2Cl2.


What is true about every rotation in Geometry?

The image and pre-image are congruent.


Different types of geometry?

Euclidean geometry, non euclidean geometry. Plane geometry. Three dimensional geometry to name but a few


Is there more than one kind of geometry?

There are different kinds of geometry including elementary geometry, Euclidean geometry, and Elliptic Geometry.

How is a reflection rotation and translation similar?

they are all with shapes and have to do with geometry

What does a rotation mean in Geometry?

In geometry, a rotation refers to the movement of a figure around a fixed point, called the center of rotation. The figure remains the same shape and size, but it changes its position, orientation, or both. A rotation can be either clockwise or counterclockwise, and is measured in degrees.


What does transformation mean in geometry?

A transformation is moving or changing the shape of a figure on the Cartesian plane by a translation, by a reflection, by a rotation or by an enlargment


A student draws two congruent triangles with geometry software. Determine whether the transformation shown is a rotation. Answer yes or no?

yes


What does a full circle equal in geometry?

A full rotation of a circle is equal to 360 degrees. Area of a circle is: pi times radius squared.


What is translation in geometry?

A translation is when a shape slides. There are three other transformations other than this: * rotation * dilation * reflection. During translation, an object changes its position but not orientation.


What are some real world applications of geometry?

Euclidean geometry has become closely connected with computational geometry, computer graphics, convex geometry, and some area of combinatorics. Topology and geometry The field of topology, which saw massive developement in the 20th century is a technical sense of transformation geometry. Geometry is used on many other fields of science, like Algebraic geometry. Types, methodologies, and terminologies of geometry: Absolute geometry Affine geometry Algebraic geometry Analytic geometry Archimedes' use of infinitesimals Birational geometry Complex geometry Combinatorial geometry Computational geometry Conformal geometry Constructive solid geometry Contact geometry Convex geometry Descriptive geometry Differential geometry Digital geometry Discrete geometry Distance geometry Elliptic geometry Enumerative geometry Epipolar geometry Euclidean geometry Finite geometry Geometry of numbers Hyperbolic geometry Information geometry Integral geometry Inversive geometry Inversive ring geometry Klein geometry Lie sphere geometry Non-Euclidean geometry Numerical geometry Ordered geometry Parabolic geometry Plane geometry Projective geometry Quantum geometry Riemannian geometry Ruppeiner geometry Spherical geometry Symplectic geometry Synthetic geometry Systolic geometry Taxicab geometry Toric geometry Transformation geometry Tropical geometry


Is a translation the same as a slide flip or rotation?

Neither, because a translation is only moving across one plane. Slide flip isn't even used in geometry. I'm not sure what that is. A rotation is moving across and axis from a specific point, which cannot be done in a translation.


What is the difference between rolling and rotation?

When an object rolls the center of gravity (or of geometry - or both depending on the shape of the object) translates (moves) along a path and there is a point of contact with a surface on the perimeter of the object, rotation (angular change) does occur too.During rotation the center of gravity could be motionless and there is probably no point of contact with any surface; the movement is purely angular.


If you are facing east and you turn clockwise 90 degrees which direction will you be facing?

South. 90 degrees is 1/4 of a complete rotation, which is 360 degrees. http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/degrees.html
