Question

look at this shape: which image shows a translation?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a rigid - motion that moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. The shape and orientation of the figure remain the same.

Step2: Analyze Option A

Option A shows the triangle moved to a different position with the same shape and orientation. It is a translation.

Step3: Analyze Option B

Option B shows the triangle with a different orientation (rotated), so it is not a translation.

Step4: Analyze Option C

Option C shows the triangle with a different orientation (rotated), so it is not a translation.

Answer:

A.
