Thank you very much! :)
You are welcome.
To answer these questions, you need to have a basic understanding of different types of transformations in mathematics. Let me explain each one, and then we can find the correct answers.
1. Rotation: This is a transformation that turns an object around a fixed point. It changes the orientation of the object. In this case, the correct answer for "What is another word for rotation?" would be "turn".
2. Translation: This is a transformation that moves an object from one place to another without changing its shape or orientation. It involves sliding the object along a straight line. Therefore, the correct answer for "What's another word for a translation?" would be "slide".
3. Reflection: This is a transformation that flips an object across a line, creating a mirror image of the original object. It doesn't involve any sliding or turning. So, the correct answer for "Maria slides a triangle two inches to the right. What kind of transformation did she perform?" would be "translation".
Now, let's find the correct answers for each question:
1. What is another word for rotation? - The correct answer is "turn".
2. What's another word for a translation? - The correct answer is "slide".
3. Maria slides a triangle two inches to the right. What kind of transformation did she perform? - The correct answer is "translation".
