Question

does the transformation appear to be a rigid motion? explain. choose the correct answer below. a. the transformation is not a rigid motion because the image and preimage do not overlap. b. the transformation is not a rigid motion because the image appears to have a different orientation than the preimage. c. the transformation is a rigid motion because all corresponding angles and sides appear to be the same size. d. the transformation is not a rigid motion because all corresponding angles and sides appear to be the same size.

Explanation:

A rigid - motion preserves distance and angle measures. If the image and pre - image have different orientations, it does not mean it is not a rigid motion (rotations are rigid motions and change orientation). Overlapping is not a criterion for non - rigid motion. If all corresponding angles and sides appear to be the same size, it is a rigid motion.

Answer:

C. The transformation is a rigid motion because all corresponding angles and sides appear to be the same size.
