Question

Describe the transformation involved in the following pair of figures. Write translation, reflection or rotation.

Accepted Answer

Given,

We have to find the given pair of figures whether translation, reflection or rotation.

We know that,

A translation is a transformation that moves all points of a figure in the same distance in the same direction.

A reflection is a transformation that "flips" or "reflects" a figure about a line.

A rotation is a transformation that turns every point of the pre-image through a spectific angle and direction about a point.

We can observe that the figures and its reflections are exactly the same distance from the line of reflection on both sides.

Hence, the transformation involved in the following pair of figures is reflection.
