Question

What would be the coordinates for an obtuse scalene triangle with vertices at (4,0), (6,8), and (9,1) after translation using SSS congruence?

A) (1,0), (3,8), (6,1)
B) (4,0), (6,8), (9,1)
C) (7,0), (9,8), (12,1)
D) (10,0), (12,8), (15,1)

Answer 1

To translate an obtuse scalene triangle using SSS congruence, subtract the original coordinates from the desired coordinates.

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate an obtuse scalene triangle using SSS congruence, we need to apply the same translation vector to each vertex of the triangle. The translation vector is determined by finding the difference between the original coordinates of a vertex and the desired coordinates of the translated vertex.

In this case, the translation vector can be found by subtracting the coordinates of the original vertex (4,0) from the desired coordinates (1,0), resulting in a vector (-3,0).

Applying this translation vector to each vertex, we get the coordinates for the translated obtuse scalene triangle as (1,0), (3,8), and (6,1).
