Question

the three pairs of figures. which transformation takes figure a to figure b in pair 3?
○ a translation
○ a rotation
○ a reflection

Explanation:

To determine the transformation from Figure A to Figure B in Pair 3, we analyze each option:

• Translation: A translation moves a figure without rotating or reflecting it. In Pair 3, Figure B appears to be shifted (moved) vertically and horizontally from Figure A, with the same orientation (no rotation or reflection).
• Rotation: Would involve turning the figure around a point, but Figure B has the same orientation as A, so no rotation.
• Reflection: Would flip the figure over a line, but Figure B does not mirror A.

Answer:

a translation
