Question

how would you move the green shape exactly over the gray shape using the fewest moves? check only necessary moves.
a. flip
b. turn
c. slide

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the shapes

The green and gray shapes are congruent (same shape and size).

Step2: Consider transformation types

• Flip (reflection) would change the orientation in a way that doesn't match here.
• Turn (rotation) is not needed as the shapes are already in the same rotational orientation relative to each other in terms of the basic structure.
• Slide (translation) is the appropriate move as we just need to move the green shape without flipping or rotating it to align it with the gray shape.

Answer:

C. Slide
