The figure has been modified from the original design concept.
There is no such concept in maths. A plane figure is a mathematical concept but that is not what the question is about.
The original figure is called the pre-image. After the transformation it becomes the image.
To describe how four turns can return a figure to its original position, you can explain that each turn represents a rotation around a central point, typically 90 degrees. When you rotate a figure four times by 90 degrees, the total rotation amounts to 360 degrees, which is a full circle. Thus, after four turns, the figure aligns perfectly with its initial orientation, effectively returning it to its original position. This concept can be visualized easily with shapes like squares or circles.
what 4 turns can put a figure in its original positions
What is a preimage. (The new figure is called the image.)
It is the figure before any transformation was applied to it.
back to what it was first :)
It depends on what and where the original and reflected figures are.
No! Nor did the Romans figure the concept of negative numbers.
Preimage
A type of transformation where an original figure is flipped over a line onto its image is called reflection. In this process, each point of the original figure is mapped to a corresponding point on the opposite side of the line, maintaining equal distance from the line of reflection. This creates a mirror image of the original figure.
our apprehension of the figure as got more exacting in definition, the figure as not changed but our understanding of it does, be it the correct or incorrect.
