Question

Polygon ABCD is the result of a translation of polygon EFGH . AB¯¯¯¯¯ is parallel to DC¯¯¯¯¯ in the pre-image. Drag the answers to the boxes to correctly complete the statement about this image. The corresponding segments and in the image are

Answer 1

ABCD has been translated down 4 units, and to the right 5 units in order to become EFGH.

Answer 2

Answer: The corresponding segments in the in the figure and the image are :

AB and EF,

AD and EH,

CD and HG,

BC and FG,

Explanation:

Given: Polygon ABCD is the result of a translation of polygon EFGH .

AB is parallel to DC in the pre-image.

We know that a translation is a rigid transformation which produces congruent images such that the corresponding segments have equal lengths.

So from the given statements the corresponding segments in the figure and the image are :

AB and EF,

AD and EH,

CD and HG,

BC and FG,
