Question

look at this shape:
image of a blue polygon on a grid
which image shows a rotation?
images of three blue polygons labeled a, b, c on grids
options: a, b, c
learn about transformations!

• translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations
• congruence and similarity transformations
• sequences of transformations

Explanation:

A rotation turns a shape around a fixed point, preserving its size and shape but changing its orientation. Option A is a reflection/mirror image, Option B is a different non-rotated shape, while Option C matches the original shape's size and is oriented as a rotated version of the original.

Answer:

C. The shape in option C is a rotation of the original shape.
