Question

1. which transformation must be applied to object a to place it in the position of object b? dilation translation reflection rotation

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze dilation

Dilation changes the size of a figure. Object A and object B have the same size, so dilation is not the transformation.

Step2: Analyze translation

Translation moves a figure without rotation or reflection. If we move object A down and to the right (by counting grid - units, say 4 units down and 4 units to the right), we can place it in the position of object B.

Step3: Analyze reflection

Reflection flips a figure over a line. There is no line of reflection that would map object A to object B.

Step4: Analyze rotation

Rotation turns a figure around a point. There is no rotation (by \(90^{\circ},180^{\circ},270^{\circ}\)) that would map object A to object B.

Answer:

translation
