Question

Determine which of the following statements about rigid transformations is false.

Answer 1

Answer:

The false statement about rigid transformation is;

In a translation, the segments joining points of the pre-image and their images are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of a rigid transformation involving a translation can vary from changes in the values of one of the two coordinates of the vertex points in the figure with the same change value for all the vertices or

The translation can also be made by changing the values of both coordinates of the vertex each coordinate having equal value of change which may be different from the value of change of the other coordinate, maintaining the size of the figure.

In the second case, the translation can be in other directions other than vertical or horizontal, such that, the segments joining the points of the pre-image with the corresponding point on the image are parallel.
