Transformations

Transformations in mathematics refer to operations that change the position, size, or shape of a figure or object in space. Common types include translations (sliding), rotations (turning), reflections (flipping), and scaling (resizing). These methods alter an object’s appearance while maintaining certain properties, such as shape or angles, depending on the transformation. They are fundamental in understanding geometry, computer graphics, and design, helping us visualize and manipulate objects digitally or physically.
