Question

select the correct answer from each drop - down menu. complete the definitions. a rotation is a transformation where an object a translation is a transformation where an object moves a specified distance along a line perpendicular to a specified line moves in a circular arc around a point moves a specified distance along a line parallel to a specified line

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Rotation Definition

A rotation in geometry is a transformation where an object moves in a circular arc around a fixed point (like the center of rotation). So for the first blank (rotation), the correct option is "moves in a circular arc around a point".

Step2: Recall Translation Definition

A translation in geometry is a transformation where an object moves a specified distance along a line parallel to a specified line (it slides without rotating or reflecting, maintaining direction and distance). So for the second blank (translation), the correct option is "moves a specified distance along a line parallel to a specified line".

Answer:

For the rotation definition: "moves in a circular arc around a point"
For the translation definition: "moves a specified distance along a line parallel to a specified line"
