Which property applies to a figure after a transformation?

The property that applies to a figure after a transformation is that it may have a different orientation. This means that depending on the type of transformation applied—such as rotation, reflection, or even certain translations—the figure can end up facing a different direction or position relative to its original state.

For instance, when a figure is rotated, it retains its size and shape but changes its orientation in the plane. Similarly, a reflection will create a mirror image of the figure, causing it to be oriented differently compared to the original. Thus, while transformations typically preserve the size and shape of the figure, they can certainly alter how the figure is positioned or oriented without changing its fundamental properties.

In contrast, the other choices imply attributes that are not universally true following a transformation. For instance, overlapping with the original figure isn't guaranteed unless the transformation is specifically designed to do so. The notion that the transformed figure will always be larger or that it will not change in any way contradicts the very nature of transformations, which are designed to modify the position or orientation of figures.
