Question

priya tried to translate triangle abc by the directed line segment from d to e. she knows something went wrong because the image isnt congruent to the original figure. 1. what is one idea that priya probably understands about translations? 2. what is one idea that priya doesnt understand about translations?

Explanation:

1. Priya likely understands that translations involve moving a figure a certain distance. The equal - length segments (3.5 units) from each vertex of the original triangle to the corresponding vertex of the image triangle suggest she knows to move each point the same distance.
2. Priya doesn't understand that translations preserve orientation. In a correct translation, the figure should have the same orientation as the original, but here the orientation of the image triangle is different from the original triangle, which is why the image isn't congruent in the proper sense.

Answer:

1. She understands that each point of the figure should be moved the same distance.
2. She doesn't understand that translations preserve the orientation of the figure.
