Question

Dakota has a mirror in the shape of a trapezoid. She started by hanging the mirror in one location. Then she decided to hang the mirror in a different location.

A. Complete the drawing of the mirror in its new location.

B. How could Dakota move the mirror from the first location to the second location?

Answer 1

Dakota can move the mirror by determining the translation needed and shifting it accordingly.

Step-by-step explanation:

To move the mirror from the first location to the second location, Dakota needs to determine the translation needed. She can do this by measuring the horizontal and vertical distances between the two locations. Let's say the mirror needs to move 5 units horizontally to the right and 3 units vertically up. Dakota should then create a new trapezoid with the same shape and dimensions but shifted 5 units to the right and 3 units up from the original location. This will complete the drawing of the mirror in its new location.
