Question

which figure is a translation of figure a? figure b figure c figure d

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

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

Step2: Analyze each figure

• Figure B: Check orientation. It appears reflected or rotated, not a translation.
• Figure C: Compare with Figure A. The shape, size, and orientation match, and it looks like a slide (translation) from Figure A's position.
• Figure D: Orientation is reversed, so it's a rotation/reflection, not translation.

Answer:

Figure C (assuming Figure C is the one that matches the translation criteria as analyzed. If options were labeled, e.g., if Figure C was an option like "C. Figure C", then the answer would be C. Figure C)
