Question

question 7 of 10. if abcde is translated 2 units to the right and 4 units up, what will happen to the polygon? a. it will stay where it is but get bigger. b. it will move but wont change shape or size. c. it will move, change shape, and change size. d. it will move and change shape

Explanation:

Step1: Understand translation

Translation is a rigid - motion transformation. In a translation, every point of the polygon is moved the same distance and in the same direction.

Step2: Analyze the effect

When polygon ABCDE is translated 2 units to the right and 4 units up, all its points will move accordingly. But the distances between the points remain the same, so the shape and size do not change. Only the position of the polygon in the coordinate - plane changes.

Answer:

C. It will move, but won't change shape or size
