Question

does the transformation appear to be a rigid motion? explain. choose the correct answer below. a. the transformation is not a rigid motion because the image appears to have a different orientation than the preimage. b. the transformation is a rigid motion because all corresponding angles and sides appear to be the same size. c. the transformation is not a rigid motion because the image and preimage do not overlap.

Explanation:

A rigid motion (isometry) preserves distances and angles. Just because the orientation has changed (which can happen in rotations, a type of rigid - motion), it doesn't mean it's not a rigid motion. If corresponding angles and sides are the same size, it is a rigid motion. Overlapping is not a criterion for determining rigid motion. So, the transformation is a rigid motion because all corresponding angles and sides appear to be the same size.

Answer:

B. The transformation is a rigid motion because all corresponding angles and sides appear to be the same size.
