Let me work through each transformation step by step:
Row 1: Large square → Small square
- The shape got smaller but kept the same orientation
- Answer:
reduced
Row 2: Triangle pointing up → Triangle pointing down
- The triangle is flipped vertically (upside down)
- This could also be described as rotated 180°
- Answer:
flipped or
rotated
Row 3: Right triangle (right angle at bottom left) → Right triangle (right angle at top right)
- The triangle has been flipped horizontally
- This could also be described as rotated 180°
- Answer:
flipped or
rotated
Row 4: Small trapezoid → Large trapezoid
- The shape got bigger but kept the same orientation
- Answer:
enlarged
Row 5: Horizontal rectangle → Tilted rectangle
- The rectangle has been turned/rotated
- Answer:
rotated
Row 6: Parallelogram leaning right → Parallelogram leaning left
- The shape has been flipped horizontally (mirror image)
- Answer:
flipped
Row 7: L-shape horizontal → L-shape vertical
- The shape has been rotated 90° clockwise
- Answer:
rotated
Final Answer:
1. reduced
2. flipped, rotated
3. flipped, rotated
4. enlarged
5. rotated
6. flipped
7. rotated
