Answer:

AA' + BB' + CC' + DD' +EE' = 27.5 inches

Explanation:

A translation moves all points of a figure the same distance in the same direction. If line segment YZ is 5.5 inches long, then the distance between original point A and translated point A' would be 5.5 inches. That is also valid to the other points. So, length of AA' = BB' = CC' = DD' = EE' = 5.5 inches. In consequence, AA' + BB' + CC' + DD' +EE' = 5*5.5 inches = 27.5 inches
