Question

look at this shape:
image of purple shape on grid
which image shows a translation?
images of a, b, c on grids
a b c

Explanation:

Translation in geometry means moving a shape without rotating or reflecting it, so the shape's orientation and size remain the same, only its position changes.

• Option A: The shape has the same orientation and size as the original, just moved down and right.
• Option B: The shape is rotated (it's an L - shape now instead of the original orientation), so it's not a translation.
• Option C: The shape is rotated (the "corner" is in a different direction), so it's not a translation.

Answer:

A. Option A
