To determine which transformations result in a figure that has the same orientation as the original figure, we need to consider the nature of each transformation:

  1. Translation: This shifts the figure from one location to another without altering its orientation. Therefore, it maintains the same orientation.

  2. Rotation: This involves turning the figure around a point, but does not change the orientation relative to the initial position of the figure. Thus, it also maintains the same orientation.

  3. Reflection: This flips the figure over a line (the line of reflection), which changes the orientation. Therefore, it does not maintain the same orientation.

Based on this analysis, the transformations that will result in a figure with the same orientation as the original figure are translation and rotation.

So the correct answer is translation and rotation.
