Let’s go through each problem one by one.
---
Problem 1:
We see a diamond shape (a rhombus) on the left, and then another diamond shape on the right. They are mirror images of each other across a vertical dashed line in the middle.
- The points labeled A, B, C on the left have matching points A, B, C on the right — but flipped.
- This is like looking in a mirror — that’s called a
reflection.
✔ So, transformation =
reflection

Problem 2:
We see a rectangle on the left, and then an identical rectangle on the right — same size, same orientation, just moved to the right.
- No flipping, no turning — just sliding over.
- That’s called a
translation.
✔ So, transformation =
translation

Problem 3:
We see a hexagon-like shape on the left, and then a similar shape on the right — but it’s turned sideways.
- Point A was at the bottom-left; now it’s at the top-right.
- The whole figure has been rotated — probably 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise.
- Since it’s turned and not flipped or slid, this is a
rotation.
✔ So, transformation =
rotation

Final Answer:
1. reflection
2. translation
3. rotation
