Math Problem Statement
Which image shows a rotation? (Options: A, B, C)
Solution
The question asks which image shows a rotation from the options A, B, and C. Let's analyze each image to determine which represents a rotation:
- A: The triangle appears to be reflected across a vertical axis, which is a reflection, not a rotation.
- B: This image shows the triangle rotated about a point, changing its orientation compared to the original position. This is a rotation.
- C: The triangle seems to have been translated (shifted) without changing its orientation, indicating a translation rather than a rotation.
The correct answer is B because it shows the triangle rotated from its original position.
Do you have any further questions or would you like more details? Here are some related questions:
- What is the difference between reflection and rotation in transformations?
- Can a shape be both rotated and reflected at the same time?
- How can we calculate the angle of rotation for a given figure?
- What is a translation in geometric transformations?
- What are the key characteristics that distinguish a rotation from a translation?
Tip: When identifying rotations, focus on the orientation of the figure after transformation; the position and angle relative to a point will have changed.
