think about the word rigid.

Thanks again dude.(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was right!!(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are some rigid objects. A glass bottle, A rock, a chair, a bowling ball. ANd then lets say what is a rigid transformation? You can do b c and d to these objects. But you really cant dilate (shrink enlarge) those objects. However to a non rigid object like a balloon or cotton or sponge you can dilate it.
