Question

An equilateral triangle with side lengths of 7 units is translated 3 units to the right. What is the length of one side of the triangle after the translation, in units? 3 units

Answer 1

`Sides= 7\ units`

Explanation:

Given

`Sides= 7\ units`

`Translation = 3\ units` (to the right)

Required

Determine the length of one side after translation

It should be noted that when a shape, line, object is being translated by shifting its position, only the position of the shape, line or object changes not its length

This implies that, the length of the sides of the equilateral triangle remain unchanged.

Hence:

`Sides= 7\ units`
