Question
- other than translation, what transformation is used to create this frieze pattern? vertical reflection 90° rotation glide reflection horizontal reflection
A glide reflection is a combination of a translation (a slide) and a reflection. In this frieze pattern, we can observe that the pattern is first reflected (flipped) and then translated (slid) to create the repeating design. A vertical reflection would flip over a vertical line, a \(90^{\circ}\) rotation would turn the figure \(90^{\circ}\), and a horizontal reflection would flip over a horizontal line. But the pattern here shows the characteristics of a glide - reflection (a combination of slide and flip).
