Question

look at this shape: image of a grid with a beige l - shaped figure which image shows a translation? three grid - based images labeled a, b, c, where a has a mirrored l - shape, b has a reversed l - shape, and c has the same l - shape in a different grid position

Explanation:

Translation in geometry means moving a shape without rotating or reflecting it, so the shape should have the same orientation and size, just a different position. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: The shape is rotated (the "notch" is on the opposite side), so it's a rotation, not a translation.
• Option B: The shape is also rotated (mirror - like or rotated), not a translation.
• Option C: The shape has the same orientation and size as the original, just moved to a different position on the grid, so it represents a translation.

Answer:

C
