Question

what single transformation was applied to triangle a to get triangle b?
choose 1 answer:
a translation
b rotation
c reflection
d dilation

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each transformation

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

Step2: Check the figures

Triangle \(B\) is smaller than triangle \(A\). Dilation changes the size of a figure.

Answer:

D. Dilation
