which is an example of an isometric transformation?
○ flipping a grilled cheese sandwich
○ cutting a rectangular card into triangles
○ folding a towel in thirds
○ melting an ice cube into a puddle of water
An isometric transformation (also known as a rigid transformation) preserves the shape and size of a figure. Flipping (which is a reflection) is a type of isometric transformation. Cutting a card, folding a towel in thirds (which changes the size - related aspects as the layers stack and the overall dimensions in terms of thickness etc. are altered in a non - isometric way), and melting an ice cube (a physical change that completely changes the state and shape in a non - isometric sense) do not preserve the original shape and size in the way required for an isometric transformation.
