Question

triangle abc was transformed to be triangle def using one transformation. what transformation was performed? rotation translation reflection dilation

Explanation:

Step1: Recall transformation definitions

• Rotation: Turns a figure around a point.
• Translation: Slides a figure without rotation or reflection.
• Reflection: Flips a figure over a line.
• Dilation: Resizes a figure.

Step2: Analyze the figures

The two triangles \(ABC\) and \(DEF\) are congruent (same shape and size). There is no resizing (so not dilation). There is no flipping (so not reflection). There is no turning (so not rotation). The triangle \(ABC\) appears to be moved (slid) to the position of \(DEF\).

Answer:

translation
