In this lesson, you will become familiar with each of the three rigid motions and how they affect objects they are performed on.
A rigid motion is performed on an object, and it moves and turns the object without changing its shape, distorting its proportions, or changing its size.
Watch this video for a quick overview of how the rigid motions look in action.
The following site uses music symbols to provide examples of rigid motions.
Geogebra has a variety of applets that you can use to explore each of the rigid motions and how they work. Check each applet and play around!
After taking the quiz, look back at the resources in this lesson and answer the following question:
Can two rigid motions of one type combine to create one rigid motion of another type? State which, and provide examples.
