To answer these questions, we need to understand the different types of transformations in geometry.
1. Question 1.1: The correct answer is "turn." Rotation refers to the act of turning an object around a fixed point.
2. Question 2.2: The correct answer is "slide." A translation is a type of transformation where an object is moved without changing its orientation, similar to how you would slide a piece of paper without flipping or turning it.
3. Question 3.3: The correct answer is "translation." In this case, Maria moved the triangle two inches to the right, which is a horizontal translation.
To arrive at these answers, you can use the following explanations:
- Rotation: Rotation is a transformation where an object is turned around a fixed point called the center of rotation. The options "flip," "turn," "slide," and "fall" refer to different actions, but only "turn" describes the action of rotating an object.
- Translation: A translation refers to the movement of an object without changing its shape or orientation. The options "flip," "turn," "slide," and "fall" all describe different actions, but only "slide" correctly reflects the idea of moving an object without flipping or turning.
- Reflection: Reflection is a transformation where an object is flipped across a line called the line of reflection. The options "flip," "turn," "slide," and "fall" all describe different actions, but only "reflection" corresponds to the idea of flipping an object.
- Dilation: Dilation is a transformation where an object is proportionally changed in size or scale. The options "flip," "turn," "slide," and "fall" are not related to dilation.
By understanding the definitions of these transformations, you can correctly answer the questions.
