Question

Which of the following patterns or images could best be described by a translation?

A.
chairs around a round table
B.
seats on a school bus
C.
baby bird and mother bird
D.
left and right hand

Answer 1

a translation doesn't do anything... there's no rotation and no reflection.

Answer 2

Do you think it would be D then.?

Answer 3

no.... try lift your left hand and right hand up.. make the left hand the original image... what do you notice when you look at your right hand?

Answer 4

ohh actually I think it's B. cause school bus seats are the same size and are always facing the same direction.

Answer 5

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Thank you :)

Answer 7

because for a say we have an original chair and then place it at another location near the table... it's a rotation, so that's out

and isometry preserves size and shape. Isometric transformation preserves the image and pre-image and doesn't change in size so the birds are out.

The bus seats don't change at all and preserve the same size :)
