Question

14 multiple choice 1 point this drawing is an example of a __________. octagon reflection rotation translation

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definitions

• An octagon is an 8 - sided polygon. The figure in the drawing is not an 8 - sided polygon.
• Reflection (or mirror image) is a transformation where a figure is flipped over a line.
• Rotation is a transformation where a figure is turned around a point.
• Translation is a transformation where a figure is slid without rotation or reflection.

Step2: Analyze the figure

The two shaded parts of the figure are mirror images of each other with respect to a vertical line (the line \(x = 4.5\) in the coordinate system).

Answer:

B. reflection
