Question

Which transformation distorts the shape of an object such that the transformed shape appears as if the
object were composed of internal layers that had been caused to slide over each other?
(A) Rotation
(B) Scaling up
(C) Scaling down
(D) Shearing
​

Answer 1

The transformation which distorts the shape of an object such that the transformed shape appears as if the  object were composed of internal layers that had been caused to slide over each other is D) Shearing

What is shearing?

• A shear type of transformation is recognized by the internal layers sliding over each other.
• Parallel internal structures slide over each other in shearing.
• The process of shearing is also referred to as die cutting.
• Other options, such as option A) rotation is not correct because rotation is a transformation which is a turn.
