Question: What single transformation was applied to quadrilateral $A$ to get quadrilateral $B$? Quadrilateral $B$ is located in the top-right area of the grid, and quadrilateral $A$ is located in the bottom-right area of the grid. Choose 1 answer: A Translation B Rotation C Reflection D Dilation
1. **State the problem:** We need to determine which single transformation maps quadrilateral $A$ from the bottom-right area of the grid to quadrilateral $B$ in the top-right area.
2. **Recall transformation types:**
- **Translation:** slides a figure without rotating or flipping it.
- **Rotation:** turns a figure around a fixed point.
- **Reflection:** flips a figure over a line (mirror image).
- **Dilation:** resizes a figure larger or smaller, preserving shape.
3. **Analyze the positions:**
- Quadrilateral $A$ is in the bottom-right.
- Quadrilateral $B$ is in the top-right.
4. **Check if translation fits:**
- Translation moves a figure without changing orientation.
- Moving from bottom-right to top-right by sliding straight up is a translation.
5. **Check if rotation fits:**
- Rotation would change orientation and position around a point.
- The figure does not appear rotated.
6. **Check if reflection fits:**
- Reflection flips the figure over a line.
- The figure is not flipped; it maintains orientation.
7. **Check if dilation fits:**
- Dilation changes size.
- The size remains the same.
8. **Conclusion:** The transformation is a **translation** moving quadrilateral $A$ straight up to quadrilateral $B$.
**Final answer:** A Translation
