Answer 1

The answer is Reflection

Answer 2

Rotation.

Explanation:

There are three rigid motions (which do not change the shape and size of the figures): rotation, translation and reflection.

You make a rotation of a figure when you turn it about a fixed point (which can be inside, on an edge or outside the figure) and it is measured in degrees. The rotation can be clockwise or counterclockwise.
