Question

which rigid transformation can you use to map figure a onto figure b? translation reflection rotation

Explanation:

To determine the rigid transformation mapping figure A to B, we analyze each option:

• Translation: Shifts a figure without flipping/rotating. Figure A and B are not just shifted—their orientation suggests a mirror - like flip.
• Reflection: A reflection over a vertical line (e.g., the line midway between A and B) would flip figure A to match B’s mirror - image orientation.
• Rotation: Rotation would change the figure’s angle relative to the grid, but A and B are symmetric across a vertical axis, not rotated.

Answer:

Reflection
