Question

Translations _______ side lengths of the figure.

A. change
B. alter
C. preserve
D. all of these

Answer 1

C. preserve

Explanation:

When you translate something in geometry, you're simply moving it around. You don't distort it in any way. If you translate a segment, it remains a segment, and its length doesn't change. Similarly, if you translate an angle, the measure of the angle doesn't change.
