Transformations quiz 8th grade

What is a translation in geometry?

• A translation is a type of transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance in a specified direction.

• A translation is a method of rotating a figure around a point.

• A translation is a process of resizing a figure to make it larger or smaller.

• A translation is a reflection of a figure across a line.

What is the definition of a transformation in geometry?

• A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way to produce a new shape.
