Question

Figure ABCD is translated down by 6 units:

Which of the following best describes the sides of the transformed figure A'B'C'D'? (1 point)

Answer 1

The sides of the transformed figure A'B'C'D' describes A'D' is congruent to A'B' . The correct answer is option A

Translating a figure ABCD down by 6 units results in a congruent figure A'B'C'D', meaning the sides of the transformed figure are of the same length and angles as the original.

When a figure is translated, all of its sides remain parallel and congruent to the corresponding sides of the original figure. Therefore, the sides of the transformed figure A'B'C'D' are all parallel to the corresponding sides of the original figure ABCD.

In particular, we can see that A'D' is parallel to A'B' because they are both horizontal lines. Additionally, we can see that A'D' is congruent to A'B' because they are both the same length.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A. A'D' || A'B'.

Answer 2

The sides would still be the same. If the figure ABCD was a square, it would remain the same because all of the points are equally translated down 6 units. Whatever shape the original figure was, it will remain the same, just in a different location.
