SYMMETRY
• Less Formally
• Reflections • Flips
• Rotations OR • Turns
• Translations • Slides
• To find where the mirror
should go, choose some point on
the original object and look at
where that point ends up when
the object is flipped.
• To rotate an object in
the plane, you choose a point, called
the center, and turn
the object about that center, as a
wheel turns about its hub.
