What of your previous construction skills do you think you will need in order to construct a parallelogram?

Rotate the following parallelogram 90 degrees clockwise at point (0,0). Where is A, B, C, and D now located?

In terms of Geometry...What is a rotation and a translation?

Reflect the parallelogram over x = 1. Where are points A, B, C, and D now located?

Reflect the following parallelogram over the y-axis. What are the coordinates of J, K, L, and M now that it has been reflected?

WITHOUT LOOKING ANYTHING UP!!

What is a reflection? Where in your everyday life do you see reflections?

Solve for x and y...Then find the measure of each side.
