standard_description: Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion on a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are congruent.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Describe whether the following statement is always, sometimes, or never true:
“If you reflect a figure across two parallel lines, the result can be described with a single translation rule.”
Problem 2
Describe whether the following statement is always, sometimes, or never true:
“The reflection of a figure over two unique lines of reflection can be described by a rotation.”
Problem 3
Johnny says three rotations of
$${90^{\circ}}$$
about the center of the figure is the same as three reflections with lines that pass through the center, so a figure with order 4 rotational symmetry results in a figure that also has reflectional symmetry.
Describe, using evidence from the two drawings below, to support or refute Johnny’s statement.
