Question

which transformation takes figure a to figure b in pair 2?
○ a translation
○ a rotation
○ a reflection

Explanation:

To determine the transformation from Figure A to Figure B in Pair 2, we analyze each option:

• Translation: Shifts a figure without rotation/reflection. Figure A and B don’t align with a simple shift.
• Rotation: Turns a figure around a point. Figure B appears rotated (e.g., 90° or 180°) relative to A, matching rotational symmetry.
• Reflection: Flips over a line. The orientation of A and B doesn’t suggest a mirror flip.

Answer:

a rotation
