Geometric Transformations

Transformations are ways to move, flip, or turn a shape.

When a transformation is applied to a shape, the original shape is called the object. The resulting shape after the transformation is called the image.

There are several types of transformations, including:

• Translation: Moves the shape to a new position without changing its shape, size, or orientation.
• Rotation: Turns the shape.

A pattern is created by repeating a transformation (such as translation or rotation) to form a design.

The following pattern is created by repeating a translation:
