Question

look at this shape;
which image shows a translation?
a
b
c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a rigid transformation that slides a shape without rotating or reflecting it, so the shape's orientation and size remain the same, only position changes.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: The triangle's orientation (angle of the sides) has changed, likely a rotation or reflection, not translation.
• Option B: The triangle has the same shape, size, and orientation as the original, just moved (slid) to a new position. This fits translation.
• Option C: The triangle's orientation is flipped/rotated, not a translation.

Answer:

B. Option B
