Question

△plt can be mapped onto △xdu by a translation. if lt = 9, find xd. answer attempt 1 out of 2 xd be determined. can cannot

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation property

A translation is a rigid - motion. Rigid - motions preserve side - lengths.

Step2: Identify corresponding sides

Since $\triangle PLT$ is mapped onto $\triangle XDU$ by a translation, side $LT$ corresponds to side $XD$.

Step3: Determine side - length

If $LT = 9$, then $XD=9$ because corresponding sides of congruent triangles (formed by a translation) are equal.

Answer:

$XD = 9$
