OBJECTIVE
The student will learn the basic concepts of translations, rotations and glide reflections.
2
Reflections are the building blocks of other transformations. We will use the material from the previous lesson on line reflections to create new transformations.

A translation, is the product of two reflections R (l) and R (m) where l and m are parallel lines.

If you draw a figure on a piece of paper and then slide the paper on your desk along a straight path, your slide motion models a translation. In a translation, points in the original figure move an identical distance along parallel paths to the image. In a translation, the distance between a point and its image is always the same. A distance and a direction together define a translation.

Given two parallel lines you should be able to construct the translation of any set of points and describe that translation.

Rotations

16
A rotation is the product of two line reflections R (l) • R (m), where l and m are not parallel. The center of the rotation is O = l m . The direction of the rotation is about O from l toward m, and the angular distance of rotation is twice the angle from l to m.

Lemma
The only isometry that has three noncollinear fixed points is the identity mapping e, that fixes all points.
What about three collinear points?

Glide Reflections
27
DefinitionA glide reflection, G (l, AB) is the product of a line reflection R (l) and a translation T (AB) in a direction parallel to the axis of reflection. That is, AB‖l.
28
This combination of reflection and translation can be repeated over and over: reflect then glide, reflect then glide, reflect then glide, etc. An example of this is the pattern made by someone walking in the sand. This calls for a field trip to Ocean City. The same line of reflection is used to reflect each figure to a new position followed by a glide of a uniform distance.

Theorems
A glide reflection is
an isometry, and
is an opposite transformation, and
there are no invariant points under a glide reflection.
Proof: Use the components of a glide reflection.

32
Given three points A, B, and C and their images P, Q, and R, there exist a unique isometry that maps these points onto their images.
Theorem 1
Proof: It will suffice to show you how to find this isometry. It will be the product of line reflections which are all isometries.
33
Focus – You will need to do this for homework and for the test.
34
If it is a direct transformation then it is a translation or a rotation. We can use the methods shown previously in “Rotation” or “Translation”.
Theorem 1
If it is an indirect transformation the following method will always work.

Theorem 1
Do you see that it is an indirect transformation?
36
The previous proof shows that every isometry on the plane is a product of at most three line reflections; exactly two if the isometry is direct and not the identity.
Theorem 2: Fundamental Theorem of Isometries.
37
A nontrivial direct isometry is either a translation or a rotation.
Corollary
38
Corollary: A nontrivial direct isometry is either a translation or a rotation.
What do we know?
It is a direct isometry.
It is a product of two reflections.
If the two lines of reflection meet then it is a rotation!
If the two lines of reflection do not meet (they are parallel) it is a translation!
39
A nontrivial indirect isometry is either a reflection or a glide reflection.

It is a product of one or three reflections.
If one it is a reflection!
If the three line reflection then it could be either a reflection or a glide reflection!
