Step-by-step solution for: Reflection, Translation, and Rotation Worksheets
To solve the problem, we need to analyze each pair of figures and determine whether the movement from the first figure to the second figure is a translation, rotation, or reflection. Let's go through each pair step by step.
---
1. Translation: The figure is moved in a straight line without any rotation or flipping.
2. Rotation: The figure is turned around a point (clockwise or counterclockwise).
3. Reflection: The figure is flipped over a line (like a mirror image).

#### a.
- First Figure: A 2x2 grid with all squares filled.
- Second Figure: Same 2x2 grid with all squares filled.
- Movement: The figure has not changed its orientation or position; it is simply in a different location.
- Type of Movement: Translation
#### b.
- First Figure: A 2x2 grid with one square missing in the top-left corner.
- Second Figure: The same pattern but rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
- Movement: The figure has been rotated.
- Type of Movement: Rotation
#### c.
- First Figure: Two vertical squares stacked.
- Second Figure: Two horizontal squares side by side.
- Movement: The figure has been flipped horizontally.
- Type of Movement: Reflection
#### d.
- First Figure: A single square.
- Second Figure: The same single square in a different location.
- Movement: The figure has not changed its orientation; it is simply in a different location.
- Type of Movement: Translation
