Question

Quadrilateral JKLM is translated 3 units to the right to obtain another quadrilateral J'K·L'M Which statement is correct? A. The length of J'K' must be three times the length of JK. B. The length of J'K' must be equal to the length of JK. C. The length of J'K' must be three units less than the length of JK. D. The length of J'K' must be three units more than the length of JK.

Answer 1

B. The length of J'K' must be equal to the length of JK.

When a figure is translated, its shape and size remain the same. Therefore, the length of J'K' must be equal to the length of JK. Translating a figure merely shifts it in a certain direction while preserving its original size and shape.
