Question

9. What is the difference between an isometric transformation and one that is not isometric? Provide examples to illustrate at least two isometric transformations and at least one transformation that are not isometric.

Answer 1

An isometric transformation is a transformation of the objects position, without changing the object itself. There are three types of isometric transformation; translation, reflection, and rotation. Nonisometric transformations change and alter the dimension or shape of an object, like enlargement.
