Translations Quiz

What is a translation in geometry?

• A type of dilation

• A type of rotation

• A transformation that moves every point of a figure or a space by the same distance in a given direction.

• A type of reflection

If a triangle is translated 3 units to the right and 2 units down, what are the new coordinates of its vertices?

• (x-2, y+3)

• (x+2, y-3)

• (x-3, y+2)

• The new coordinates of the vertices will be (x+3, y-2)

If a square is translated 5 units to the left and 4 units up, what are the new coordinates of its vertices?

• (x+4, y-5)

• (x+5, y-4)

• The new coordinates of the vertices are (x-5, y+4)

• (x-4, y+5)

What is the result of applying a translation to a shape?

• The shape disappears

• The shape is moved to a different location

• The shape is rotated

• The shape changes color

If a rectangle is translated 6 units to the right and 3 units down, what are the new coordinates of its vertices?

• The new coordinates of the vertices will be (x+6, y-3)

• (x-3, y+6)

• (x+3, y-6)

• (x-6, y+3)

Explain how to apply a translation to a geometric shape.

• You simply move the shape to a new location without changing its size or orientation.

• You change the color of the shape

• You rotate the shape

• You change the size of the shape

If a circle is translated 2 units to the left and 7 units up, what are the new coordinates of its center?

• (-2, 7)

• (7, -2)

• (2, -7)

• (-7, 2)

What are the properties of a translation in geometry?

• Reflects the figure over a line

• Rotates the figure around a fixed point

• Moves every point of a figure the same distance and in the same direction

• Changes the size of the figure

If a trapezoid is translated 4 units to the right and 6 units down, what are the new coordinates of its vertices?

• The new coordinates will be 4 units to the left and 6 units down.

• The new coordinates will be 4 units to the left and 6 units up.

• The new coordinates will be 4 units to the right and 6 units up.

• The new coordinates of the vertices will depend on the original coordinates of the trapezoid.

How does a translation affect the position of a geometric shape?

• The translation has no effect on the position of the geometric shape

• The position of the geometric shape is shifted in a specific direction by a certain distance.

• The translation changes the color of the geometric shape

• The translation rotates the geometric shape
