Question

question 5 points 3 what type of rigid transformation is performed on these polygons? two purple pentagons, one with a lighter purple section, separated by a vertical line options: rotation, translation, dilation, glide reflection

Explanation:

To determine the rigid transformation, we analyze each option:

• Rotation: Involves turning around a point, but the polygons here don't show rotational change.
• Translation: Shifting a figure without rotation/reflection. The left polygon (with a smaller section) and right polygon (solid) – wait, actually, looking at the vertical line (mirror), a glide reflection? No, wait, the left has a "cut" and right is solid? Wait, no, maybe the transformation is translation? Wait, no, re-examining: Rigid transformations preserve shape/size. Translation is sliding. But the left polygon has a smaller purple section, right is solid? Wait, maybe the original left and right: Wait, the left polygon (with a lighter purple part) and right (solid) – no, maybe the transformation is translation? Wait, no, the key is: Translation moves without rotation/reflection. But the vertical line is a mirror? Wait, no, the options: Glide reflection is reflection + translation. But the left and right: If we slide the left to the right, that's translation. Wait, maybe the figure on the left is translated (slid) to the right. So the transformation is translation.

Answer:

B. Translation
