Answer:

The explanation is a little long sorry but I think the answer is B.

Explanation:

To find the measure of an angle in the resulting triangle after a translation, we need to understand how translations affect angles.

When a figure is translated, its shape and size remain the same, but its position changes. Translations do not affect the measures of angles in a triangle. Therefore, the measure of an angle in the resulting triangle will be the same as the measure of the corresponding angle in the original triangle.

Since the translation is 6 units to the right and 3 units down, all three vertices of the triangle will move by the same amount. This means that the resulting triangle will have the same shape and size as the original triangle, just shifted to a different position on the coordinate grid.

Therefore, the measure of an angle in the resulting triangle will be the same as the measure of the corresponding angle in the original triangle.

Based on the information given, we cannot determine the measure of an angle in the resulting triangle. The answer options provided (A, B, C, D) do not specify any angles, so we cannot provide a specific measure.
