Answer:

Part 1) An expression for the x-coordinate of T is (a+2)

Part 2) The value of x=39 ft (see the explanation)

Explanation:

Part 1)

step 1

we know that

The rule of the reflection of a point across the x-axis is equal to


(x,y) -----> (x,-y)

Apply the rule of the reflection across the x-axis to the Q coordinates

Q (a,b) ----------> Q'(a,-b)

step 2

The translation is 2 units to the right

so

The rule of the translation is

(x,y) ----> (x+2,y)

Apply the rule of the translation to the Q' coordinates

Q'(a,-b) -----> T(a+2,-b)

therefore

An expression for the x-coordinate of T is (a+2)

Part 2)

we know that

A reflection is a rigid transformation, the image is the same size and shape as the pre-image

In this problem the floor plan house A and the floor house B have the same size and shape

That means that its corresponding sides and corresponding angles are congruent

therefore

The value of x=39 ft
