334 Isomet

This document provides notes on isometries and congruent triangles taken by a grade 9 student. It defines isometries as transformations that preserve distances and angles, and lists the four types: translation, rotation, reflection, and glide reflection. It describes the properties of each isometry and how to identify them by checking for preserved orientation and parallel paths. The notes also cover the three congruence rules for triangles: SSS, SAS, and ASA, along with examples of applying each rule to determine if triangles are isometric.

ISOMETRIES
• Two figures are isometric iff they are associated by an isometry.
• Isometries preserve the distance between points and angle measures.
• The four isometries of the plane are:
Translation (t)
Rotation (r)
Reflection (s)
Glide Reflection (gr)

Symbols
Iff: if and only if
D : after
t D r: reads translation after rotation

CHARACTERISTICS

Orientation Paths

Yes Translation
Yes
No Rotation
Start Yes Reflection

Composite:
Any composition of isometries could be achieved using a single isometry called the
composite.
