Question

look at this shape: image of a blue quadrilateral on a grid which image shows a rotation? images of three blue quadrilaterals labeled a, b, c on grids a b c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rotation definition

Rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, changing its orientation. Translation (like B) moves the figure without rotating, reflection flips it, but rotation changes the angle of the figure relative to the original.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option B: The shape looks like a translation (moved without rotating), same orientation as original.
• Option A: The orientation (angle of the slanted side) is different from original, suggesting a rotation.
• Option C: Also, check orientation—A's rotation is more consistent with a turn (e.g., 90 or 180 - degree rotation - like change in angle of the slanted edge) compared to C. So A shows a rotation.

Answer:

A. Option A
