Question

question 1 of 10 which of the following describes a rigid motion transformation? a. filling a tire with air b. slicing a log into sections c. enlarging a photo d. spinning a spinner

Explanation:

A rigid motion transformation (also called an isometry) preserves the shape and size of a figure, only changing its position or orientation. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: Filling a tire with air changes the size (inflation), so it's not a rigid motion.
• Option B: Slicing a log into sections changes the figure's structure (not a transformation of a single figure's position/orientation), so it's not a rigid motion.
• Option C: Enlarging a photo changes the size (scaling), so it's not a rigid motion.
• Option D: Spinning a spinner is a rotation, which is a type of rigid motion as it preserves the spinner's shape and size while changing its orientation.

Answer:

D. Spinning a spinner
