Understanding rigid motion in geometry and transformations - a comprehensive guide covering reflections, translations, and rotations with detailed examples and rules.
- Rigid motions preserve both length and angle measurements while transforming geometric figures
- Reflections involve flipping figures across a line of reflection, maintaining equal distances
- Translations involve sliding figures horizontally and/or vertically using coordinate rules
- Rotations involve turning figures around a fixed point using specific angle measurements
- Each transformation type follows distinct rules and formulas for calculating new coordinates
