Nitu is always confused in identifying the transformations. Her mathematics teacher helped her by giving one simple word for each transformation namely : Reflection, Rotation, Translation and Enlargement.

Which of the following represents the correct sequence of meaning of each transformation as given above ?

The correct answer is Flip, Turn, Slide and Bigger Figure.

Let us understand the simple, everyday meaning associated with each mathematical transformation given in the sequence:

1. Reflection:
A reflection creates a mirror image of a figure by flipping it over a line of reflection (mirror line). Therefore, the simple word for reflection is Flip.

2. Rotation:
A rotation involves pivoting or turning a shape around a fixed point by a certain angle. Therefore, the simple word for rotation is Turn.

3. Translation:
A translation moves or slides every point of a shape by a constant distance in a given direction without turning or flipping it. Therefore, the simple word for translation is Slide.

4. Enlargement:
An enlargement resizes a figure using a scale factor, making it larger (or scaled up). Therefore, the simple word for enlargement is Bigger Figure.

Matching these meanings in the exact order requested (Reflection, Rotation, Translation, Enlargement):

• Reflection ⇒ Flip
• Rotation ⇒ Turn
• Translation ⇒ Slide
• Enlargement ⇒ Bigger Figure

Thus, the correct sequence representing the meaning of each transformation is Flip, Turn, Slide and Bigger Figure.
