8.5 Transformational Geometry, Symmetry, and Tessellations 515 Exercises Warm Up Exercises In Exercises 1–8, fill in the blanks with an appropriate word, phrase, or symbol(s). 1. A rigid motion that moves a geometric figure to a new position such that the new position is a mirror image of the figure in the starting position is called a(n) _______. Reflection 2. A rigid motion that moves a geometric figure by sliding it along a straight line segment in the plane is called a(n) _______. Translation 3. A concise way to indicate the direction and the distance that a figure is moved during a translation is with a translation _______. Vector 4. A rigid motion performed by rotating a geometric figure in the plane about a specific point is called a(n) _______. Rotation 5. The angle through which a geometric figure is rotated during a rotation is called the angle of _______. Rotation 6. A rigid motion formed by performing a translation followed by a reflection is called a(n) _______ reflection. Glide 7. A rigid motion that moves the geometric figure back onto itself is called a(n) _______. Symmetry 8. A pattern consisting of the repeated use of the same geometric figures to entirely cover a plane, leaving no gaps, is called a(n) _______.
