Question

Which transformation(s) will result in a figure that has the same orientation as the original figure?

A. Translation and rotation
B. Translation only
C. Reflection only
D. Translation, rotation, and reflection

Answer 1

The correct answer is **B. Translation only**.

Here's the reasoning:

- **Translation**: Moves the figure without changing its orientation.
- **Rotation**: Changes the orientation of the figure, as it spins the figure around a point.
- **Reflection**: Also changes the orientation of the figure, as it flips the figure over a line.
- **D. Translation, rotation, and reflection**: This option includes reflection and rotation, both of which change the figure's orientation.

Therefore, the only transformation that preserves the same orientation as the original figure is **translation**.
