for the following shapes.

Answer 1

ggg

Explanation:

Answer 2

The specific rigid motion in the shape is translation

Explaining the idea of a rigid motion

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The figure

By definition, rigid motions are transformations in geometry that preserve distances and angles.

This includes

• translations (shifting),
• rotations (turning around a fixed point),
• reflections (flipping over a line).

The importance of rigid motions lies in their ability to maintain the shape and size of geometric figures.

For the given figure, the rigid motion is translation
