Question

how was figure a transformed to become figure a? 1. dilate 2. ? translate rotate

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze transformation types

Translation moves a figure without rotation or resizing. Rotation turns a figure around a point. Dilation resizes a figure. After dilation, to get from the dilated position (relative to original Figure A) to Figure A'', we check orientation.

Step2: Check orientation

The orientation of Figure A'' (compared to the dilated - from - A figure) is different. Rotation changes orientation. If it were a translation, the orientation would remain the same.

Answer:

Rotate
