English term or phrase: take to
Good afternoon. I am looking for an explanation and/or translation of the clause after e.g.

Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations: e.g., line segments are taken to line segments of the same length.


I do not even know what it means, which makes it very hard to translate it.

Many thanks!

transformar


Explanation:
Pide verificar que si a un segmento de recta le aplicamos una rotación, una reflexión o una traslación, se obtiene un segmento de recta de la misma longitud (podríamos decir que la figura se mueve, pero no cambia de forma).

Una traducción posible:
los segmentos (de recta) se transforman en segmentos (de recta) de la misma longitud

Explanation:
En Geometría Transformacional, se habla de "correspondencia" entre las figuras originales y las que se obtienen por transformaciones, traslaciones, giros, etc. Puedes ver más información bastante clara sobre el tema en http://www.vitutor.com/geo/vec/c_1.html
