Symmetry
Symmetry: Refers to the ability to perform a transformation without
changing the orientation or position of an object
Reflection Symmetry: If a shape has reflection symmetry, then it
remains unchanged when it is reflected across a line of
symmetry. (i.e. “M” or “Y” with a vertical line of reflection)
Rotation Symmetry: If a shape has rotation symmetry, then it can
be rotated a certain number of degrees (less than 360°) about
a point and remain unchanged.
Translation Symmetry: If a shape has translation symmetry, then it
can be translated and remain unchanged. (i.e. a line)

congruent?
Pick one parallelogram on your paper. Use color
to show which angles have equal measure. If
two measures are not equal, make sure they are
different colors.

First Two Similarity Conjectures
SSS Triangle Similarity (SSS~)
If all three corresponding side lengths share
a common ratio, then the triangles are
similar.
AA Triangle Similarity (AA~)
If two pairs of corresponding angles have
equal measure, then the triangles are
similar.
