Question

look at this shape: image of a green polygon on a grid which image shows a translation? images of three green polygons labeled a, b, c on grids

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a transformation that slides a figure without rotating or reflecting it, so the shape, size, and orientation remain the same.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: The shape has the same orientation, size, and shape as the original. It looks like a slide (translation).
• Option B: The shape is reflected or rotated (orientation changed), not a translation.
• Option C: The shape is rotated (orientation changed), not a translation.

Answer:

A. Option A
