Question

look at this shape: which image shows a translation?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a rigid - motion that moves every point of a figure by the same distance in a given direction. The shape and orientation of the figure remain the same.

Step2: Analyze option A

Option A has the same shape and orientation as the original figure, just in a different position. It is a translation.

Step3: Analyze option B

Option B has a different orientation (it is rotated compared to the original figure), so it is not a translation.

Step4: Analyze option C

Option C has a different orientation (it is rotated and possibly reflected compared to the original figure), so it is not a translation.

Answer:

A. Option A
