Question 62 • Mathematical Models with Applications - MA4072 CR

What does a translation do to a figure?

Answer
A
creates a figure that is congruent with an original figure
B
divides a figure into two mirror images
C
rotates the figure and the figure retains its image
D
reflects an image across a line of symmetry

Explanation

A translation slides a figure from one position to another without turning or flipping it. The image keeps the same size and shape, so it is congruent to the original. Choice A, “creates a figure that is congruent with an original figure,” is correct.
