Question
reflect
what are some similarities and differences between translations and reflections?
math is... mindset
did you meet the goal that you set for todays math class?
Both translations and reflections are rigid - motions in geometry that preserve shape and size (congruence). Translations move an object along a straight - line path by a certain distance in a given direction. Reflections flip an object over a line of reflection. So, similarities lie in congruence - preservation, and differences are in the way they transform the object (sliding vs. flipping).
