Is a rotation a isometry?
Not always
Does an isometry preserves orientation?
An isometry is a transformation that preserves distances between points, and it can either preserve or reverse orientation. For example, a rotation is an isometry that preserves orientation, while a reflection is an isometry that reverses orientation. Therefore, whether an isometry preserves orientation depends on the specific type of transformation being applied.
Which type of isometry is the equivalent of two reflections across intersecting lines?
Rotation
What is theorem 5.12?
Theorem 5.12- A rotation is a composition of two reflections, and hence is an invertible isometry.
What point of transformation does not move in isometry?
In an isometry, the point of transformation that does not move is called the "fixed point." This point remains unchanged during the transformation, whether it is a translation, rotation, or reflection. For example, in a rotation, the center of rotation serves as the fixed point, while in a reflection, the line of reflection equidistantly bisects the space, with points on the line remaining unchanged.
Is a translation an Isometry?
Yes, translation is part of isometry.
What is an isometry?
A isometry is a transformation where distance (aka size) is preserved. In a dilation, the size is being altered, so no, it is not an isometry.
A preimage and an image are congruent in an isometry?
Yes. Being congruent is part of the definition of an isometry.
What is Isometry?
An isometry is a transformation in which the original figure and its image are congruent. Shape remains constant as size increases.
Explain why a glide reflection is an isometry?
Because the glide reflection is a combination of two isometries, it is also an isometry.
An isometry can be illustrated with a graphing calculator. Which function rule matches the isometry?
(x,y) (-x,-y)
Which transformation is not an isometry?
Dilation.
