Question

fill in the blank (check for understanding) use each choice below only once to fill in (write in) the blank which best answers each of the three (3) questions below: 5. a reflection __ a figure over a line of reflection. slides, flips, turned 6. a rotation is a transformation in which a figure is rotated, or , about a fixed point, called the center of rotation. slides, flips, turned 7. a translation is a transformation that __ a figure a given distance in a given direction. slides, flips, turned 8. when a figure is translated, reflected, or rotated it changes its shape and size, true or false (true or false circle the correct answer (check for understanding))

Explanation:

1. A reflection is a transformation where a figure is "flipped" over a line of reflection.
2. A rotation is a transformation where a figure is "turned" about a fixed - point (center of rotation).
3. A translation is a transformation where a figure "slides" a given distance in a given direction.
4. When a figure is translated, reflected, or rotated, these are rigid transformations which preserve the shape and size of the figure. So the statement "When a figure is translated, reflected, or rotated it changes its shape and size" is false.

Answer:

1. flips
2. turned
3. slides
4. FALSE
