Translation and Reflection transformations are nonrigid transformations.
What translations are rigid transformations?
There are three basic rigid transformations: reflections, rotations, and translations. Reflections, like the name suggests, reflect the shape across a line which is given. Rotations rotate a shape around a center point which is given, and translations slide or move a shape from one place to another.
What are considered rigid transformations?
In mathematics, a rigid transformation (also called Euclidean transformation or Euclidean isometry) is a geometric transformation of a Euclidean space that preserves the Euclidean distance between every pair of points. The rigid transformations include rotations, translations, reflections, or their combination.
