Question

look at this shape: which image shows a translation? a b c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a transformation that slides a figure without rotating or reflecting it, so the shape, size, and orientation remain the same.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: The shape is rotated (orientation changed), so not a translation.
• Option B: The shape has the same shape, size, and orientation as the original, just moved (slid).
• Option C: The shape is rotated (orientation changed), so not a translation.

Answer:

B. The image labeled B (the middle one) shows a translation as it slides the original shape without rotation or reflection, maintaining the same shape, size, and orientation.
