Describe the general properties of rotations. include a discussion of the properties of rigid transformations, and line segments connecting corresponding points to each other and to the center of rotation

A rotation is a rigid transformation, sometimes called an isometric transformation, that moves every point of the pre-image through an angle of rotation about the center of rotation to create an image. Rotations preserve size, rotations of 360 map a figure to itself, and lines connecting the center of rotation to the pre-image and the corresponding point on the image have equal length.

Rotations are rigid transformations, which means they preserve the size, length, shape, and angle measures of the figure. However, the orientation is not preserved. Line segments connecting the center of rotation to a point on the pre-image and the corresponding point on the image have equal length. The line segments connecting corresponding vertices are not parallel.

The mode is the most frequently occurring value.
