what is it?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Do you know what isometric means?

OpenStudy (eboogie4):

@Maddiem no i dont

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

An isometric transformation preserves the dimensions of the figure. Unless the length or width changes then it's in isometry.

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

For example a dilation (streching or shrinking) of a figure is not an isometry because a dilation changes the dimensions of the figure.

OpenStudy (eboogie4):

oh C

OpenStudy (eboogie4):

C or D

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Why do you think it's C and why do you think it's D?

OpenStudy (eboogie4):

Either D cause its size changed or C cause it just turned it

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Rotations are still isometric transformations because the dimensions of the figure don't change. Its length is still 4 blocks wide and its width is still 1 block wide.

OpenStudy (bobo-i-bo):

An isometry is any transformation which preserves size, i.e. as long as dilation/enlargement is not involved, then the the transformation is isometric
