Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

To cover the scratch mark Tyler will move the rug so that it covers the mark.

Area of the rug = Length × Width

= (2 units) × (3 units)

= 6 square units

Area of the block in which the scratch mark is given

= 2 × 3

= 6 square units

Option A).

Reflection

If we reflect the rug across x or y axis image will be in other quadrants.

Therefore, Reflection is not the answer.

Option B).

Rotation

Rotation of the rug will move it to other quadrants or the size of the image will not cover the scratch mark.

Therefore, Rotation is not the answer.

Option C).

Translation

By shifting the rug to the required place we can cover the scratch mark.

Therefore, Translation will be the answer.

Option D).

Dilation

Dilation of the rug will differ the size.

Therefore, Dilation will not be the answer.

Option C will be the answer.
