No. While it is true for reflection in a straight line, it is not true for other reflections.

Is a rotation a isometry?
Not always
Is reflecting a congruence transformation?
YES ---- Explanation: An isometry is a distance-preserving mapping. . Geometric figures which can be related by an isometry are called congruent. Reflection preserves distance so it is an isometry. It reverses orientation so it is called an indirect orientationl
Is line reflection a direct isometry?
if there is an even number of line reflections then yes. if there is n odd number of line reflections, then no.
True or false- the angle of incidence is always greater than the reflection angle?
False .According to laws of reflection, the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection.
Is a reflection always a rotation?
yes
Explain why a glide reflection is an isometry?
Because the glide reflection is a combination of two isometries, it is also an isometry.
Is a rotation a isometry?
Not always
Which transformation is not always an isometry?
Dilation

A blank is an isometry that maps all points of a figure the same distance in the same direction?
reflection
Does a isometry preserves orientation?
There are four types of isometries:Reflection - preserves ABCD not OAngle MeasureBetweenessCollinearityDistanceNOT OrientationTranslationRotationGlide Reflection
Is line reflection a direct isometry?
if there is an even number of line reflections then yes. if there is n odd number of line reflections, then no.
Is a composition of any two isometries always is an isometry?
Yes, that is correct.
Is a rotation an isometry?
Yes, a rotation is an isometry.
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.
