Indicate whether the following statement is true or false. If a figure can be translated, then it will tessellate.

I say false am I right?

you are correct.

thank you Steve

Yes, you are correct. The statement is false. Translating a figure refers to moving it in a straight line without rotating or flipping it. Tessellation, on the other hand, refers to covering a plane with repeated use of the same shape without any overlaps or gaps. While some figures that can be translated can also tessellate (e.g., squares, hexagons), not all figures that can be translated can tessellate (e.g., triangles, circles). To understand why, think about the properties and angles of various shapes and how they fit together when repeated on a plane.
