Question

review & reinforce 09/10/25 the shaded piece has been transformed into a frieze pattern. which transformations best describe how the pattern was created?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the transformation

The shaded trapezoid is moved vertically downwards (or along a straight line) to create the frieze pattern. The shape, size, and orientation of the trapezoid remain the same, only the position changes. This is a translation transformation.

Step2: Confirm the transformation type

Translation is a rigid transformation where a figure is moved from one location to another without changing its shape, size, or orientation. In this case, the trapezoid is translated (slid) downwards repeatedly to form the pattern. Rotation would involve turning the figure, reflection would involve flipping it over a line, and dilation would involve resizing. Since there's no rotation, reflection, or resizing, translation is the correct transformation.

Answer:

The transformation is a translation (sliding the shaded trapezoid vertically downwards repeatedly to form the pattern).
