The blue E is a horizontal translation of the red E. How can you use
two reflections, one after the other, to move the red E to the position
of the blue E? Copy the figure exactly as shown and draw in the two
lines of reflection. Explain how you found the lines.

• glide reflection expressed as a composition of reflections.
• isometry
The term isometry means same distance. An isometry is a transformation that preserves
distance, or length. So, translations, reflections, and rotations are isometries.
Theorem 9-1
The composition of two or more isometries is an isometry.

In the Apply What You’ve Learned sections in Lessons 9-2 and 9-3, you explored
how various translations, reflections, and rotations move the puzzle piece. Now
you will think about how to use a composition of transformations to move the
puzzle piece to the target area.
a.
Explain why any composition of transformations that moves the puzzle piece to the
target area must include a reflection.
b.
Explain why you must use at least two transformations to move the puzzle piece to
the target area.
c.
Case 2 does not allow reflections across vertical or horizontal lines. Consider the
position of Ry=x (△DEF). What is the relationship of Ry=x (△DEF) to △ABC?
