How do we use the other definitions of transformation?

Glide Reflection- The combination of a reflection in a line and a translation along that line.


Isometry- A transformation of the plane that preserves the length of the sides



Orientation- orientation refers to the arrangement of points relative to one another, after a transformation has occurred

Invariant- a figure or property that remains under a transformation of the plane. No variations have occurred.

Guided Practice Questions:

1. The arrangement of points after a transformations that stay the same is an example of
   a. orientation
   b. dilation
   c. translation
   d. all of the above
