Question

8.7.3 quiz: coordinate geometry with polygons if abcde is translated 2 units to the right and 4 units up, what will happen to the polygon? a. it will move, change shape, and change size. b. it will stay where it is but get bigger. c. it will move but wont change shape or size. d. it will move and change shape.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand translation concept

Translation is a rigid - motion transformation.

Step2: Analyze effect on polygon

In a translation, every point of the polygon ABCDE is moved 2 units to the right and 4 units up. Rigid - motion transformations like translation preserve the shape and size of the polygon. Only the position of the polygon in the coordinate - plane changes. So the polygon will move but won't change shape or size.

Answer:

D. It will move and won't change shape or size.
