During a rotation, how is the transformation of a shape represented visually?

In the context of transformations, a rotation refers to turning a shape around a fixed point, which is typically the center of the shape itself. This means that during a rotation, each point of the shape moves in a circular path around the center point, maintaining the same distance from it.

This pivoting effect allows the shape to retain its size and proportions throughout the transformation. As the shape rotates, the relative positions of its points change, but the overall structure of the shape remains constant. Therefore, the correct representation of a rotation is indeed indicated by the idea that the shape pivots around its center.

Other options, such as the shape growing larger or disappearing, do not accurately describe a rotation. Likewise, significant changes in color are unrelated to the geometric transformation of a rotation. Each option highlights a different type of transformation or effect that does not apply in this case.
