- what does a translation do to a geometric figure? rotates it around a point moves it without changing its shape or orientation reflects it over a line resizes it while keeping the same shape
Translation is a type of transformation in geometry. It is a rigid motion. Rigid motions preserve the shape and size of the geometric figure. In translation, every point of the figure is moved the same distance in the same direction. So, it moves the figure without changing its shape or orientation. Rotating around a point is rotation transformation, reflecting over a line is reflection transformation, and resizing while keeping the same shape is dilation (a non - rigid transformation if the scale factor is not 1).
