   Observation

   The speaker defines rigid motions and lists the three types.

2. Diagram
   Observation

   Text on screen reads 'Rigid Motions: * Keep the same size + shape 1) Translations 2) Reflections 3) Rotations'.

Rigid motions are transformations that keep the same size and shape of an object. The position might be different, but the exact shape and size remain unchanged. Dilations or stretching/shrinking are not considered rigid motions.

1. Applies to geometric transformations.

1. Audio
   Observation

   The speaker introduces translations as a specific type of rigid motion and demonstrates how to translate a triangle.

2. Diagram
   Observation

   Text on screen reads 'Translate triangle ABC left 3, up 1.' followed by a coordinate plane showing the translation.

A translation is a rigid motion that shifts every point of an object by a specified distance in a specified direction. In the example, the triangle is shifted left 3 units and up 1 unit.

1. Requires specifying the direction and distance of the shift.

1. Audio
   Observation

   The speaker explicitly states that a dilation or stretching/shrinking is not a rigid motion.

Dilations or transformations that stretch or shrink an object are rigid motions.

Rigid motions must keep the exact same size and shape. Dilations change the size, so they are not rigid motions.
