Final answer:

To translate polygon ABCD to the right by 5 units, create a line segment of length 5 units to the right of each point and connect them to form a new congruent polygon.

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate polygon ABCD to the right by 5 units, we can create a line segment of length 5 units to the right of each point A, B, C, and D. Then, we connect the points created to form a new polygon that is congruent to ABCD.

For example, if point A is located at (2,3) on a coordinate plane, the new point A' would be located at (7,3). We do the same translation for points B, C, and D.
