Explore the world of transformation geometry.
Step 1: Definition
Transformation means change.
Transformation takes some object from one set to another set or in the same set.
Geometric transformation means making some changes in any given geometric shape.
Step 2: Types of geometric transformation
Rotation: Rotation is a type of transformation that rotates the pre-image around some axis without changing the shape and size of the pre-image.
Translation: Translation is a transformation that moves or slides the pre-image in some direction but does not change the shape or size of the pre-image.
Reflection: Reflection flips the pre-image and produces a mirror image of the pre-image. It does not change the size of the pre-image but changes the shape or orientation.
Dilation: This transformation stretches or shrinks the pre-image. It either expands or contracts the shape and size.
