Question

quadrilateral abcd is translated down and left to form quadrilateral ol mn. if ab = 6 units, bc = 5 units, cd = 8 units, and ad = 10 units, what is lo? figure may not be drawn to scale.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation property

Translation is a rigid - motion transformation. In a translation, the pre - image and the image are congruent. Corresponding sides of congruent figures are equal.

Step2: Identify corresponding sides

Quadrilateral ABCD is translated to form quadrilateral OL MN. Point A corresponds to point O, and point B corresponds to point L. So, side AB corresponds to side LO.

Answer:

B. 6 units
