After any of those transformations (turn, flip or slide), the shape still has the same size, area, angles and line lengths.

When one shape can become another using only Turns, Flips and/or Slides, then the two shapes are Congruent

When a Resize is neeeded for one shape to become another (we may also Turn, Flip and/or Slide) the two shapes are

In other words:

When one shape becomes another ...

The shapes are ...

... using only Rotate, Reflect and/or Translate

... using a Resize (may also Rotate, Reflect

"Rotation" means turning around a center:

The distance from the center to any point on the shape stays the same.

Every point makes a circle around the center:

Here a triangle is rotated around
the point marked with a "+"

Try It Yourself

Here you can drag the pin and try different shapes:

And here you can choose an angle and see how to rotate different shapes point-by-point. Try and follow what happens each time:

6712, 6713, 6714, 6715, 839, 840, 2133, 2134, 3340, 3341
