Question

a transformation in which the figure is turned about a fixed point is called as _______.

○ translation

○ rotation

○ reflection

○ dilation

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Translation: sliding a figure, no turning.
• Rotation: turning a figure about a fixed point (center of rotation).
• Reflection: flipping over a line (mirror image).
• Dilation: resizing (scaling) a figure.

The description matches rotation.

Answer:

B. rotation (assuming the option for rotation is labeled as such; in the given options, the second option is "rotation")
