Answer: No. Recall that a glide reflection consists of a reflection over a line and then a translation along that line, combined into a single operation since the glide reflection can be seen as a reflection combined with a translation, and both of that transformations are isometric transformations, then the image of the triangle under a glide reflection must have the same lengths.
