Transformations and enlargements

If we translate an object, we move it up or down or from side to side. But we do not change its shape, size or direction.

QQuestion

Which of the following triangles P, Q or R is a translation of triangle ABC?

AReveal answer

Remember

When we translate an object, every vertex (corner) must be moved in the same way.

Example:

Triangle PQR has been translated 3 squares down and 4 squares to the right. All of the vertices have been translated in the same way, and the object and its image are exactly the same shape and size.
