Question

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

Explanation:

Translation in geometry means moving a shape without rotating or reflecting it, so the shape should have the same orientation and size, just a different position. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: The triangle is rotated (its orientation is changed), so it's not a translation.
• Option B: The triangle is rotated (the angle and orientation are different), so it's not a translation.
• Option C: The triangle has the same orientation and shape as the original, just moved to a new position, so this is a translation.

Answer:

C. Option Text (where Option Text describes the image C as the translated triangle)
