Question

a rigid transformation can also be referred to as an isometric transformation. the prefix \iso-\ means \of the same\ and \-metric\ means \measure.\ how does the meaning of the word isometric relate to determining if an isometric transformation occurred?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In an isometric transformation, lengths, angles, and distances (measures) remain the same. If these measures are unchanged in a transformation, it is isometric.

Answer:

In an isometric transformation, measures like lengths, angles, and distances stay the same. So, if after a transformation these measures are unchanged, then an isometric transformation has occurred.
