Could an odd number of reflections ever be a rotation?
Of course. A reflection of any symmetric shape about a line perpendicular to its axis of symmetry will be a rotation of 180 degrees around the point on its axis of symmetry which is halfway between the pre-image and the image.
What are the four kinds of symmetry?
Rotation: move the object around the plane. Each rotation has a center and an angle.Translation: move the object on the plane without rotating or reflecting it. Each translation has a direction and distance.Reflection: mirror image of the object. Always has a mirror line.Glide Reflection: combination of a reflection and translation along the mirror line.
Is rotation always creates a congruent image to the original figure?
Figures are congruent if and only if they are related by a translation, reflection, or rotation, or some combination of these transformations.
What is reflectional summetry?
Reflection symmetry, reflectional symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, mirror-image symmetry, or bilateral symmetry is symmetry with respect to reflection
What are the three transformations of math?
The 3 transformations of math are: translation, reflection and rotation. These are the well known ones. There is a fourth, dilation, in which the pre image is the same shape as the image, but the same size in the world
