Question

look at this shape: which image shows a translation? a b c a b c

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 remain the same.

Step2: Analyze Option A

Option A shows a rotation of the original shape, not a translation as the orientation has changed.

Step3: Analyze Option B

Option B shows the shape moved downwards. The shape and orientation are exactly the same as the original, which is a translation.

Step4: Analyze Option C

Option C shows a rotation of the original shape, not a translation as the orientation has changed.

Answer:

B.
