Answer:

Let's assume the original shape was an equilateral triangle with vertices at (0,0), (1,2), (2,0).

After a translation 5 units right, the triangle's vertices will be at (5,0), (6,2), (7,0).

To explain, a translation is a transformation which moves a shape's location without rotating, reflecting, or resizing it. In this case, since the shape was translated 5 units right, each vertex moved 5 units right from its original position, so (0,0) became (5,0), (1,2) became (6,2), and (2,0) became (7,0).
