Question

Describe the translation of triangle ABC to triangle A’B’C’.

A. The triangle was shifted 5 units right and 2 units up
B. The triangle was shifted 5 units right and 2 units down.
C. The triangle was shifted 5 units left and 2 units down
D. The triangle was shifted 5 units left and 2 units up

Answer 1

We can see here that the description of the translation of triangle ABC to triangle A’B’C’: B. The triangle was shifted 5 units right and 2 units down.

The translation of a triangle involves moving or shifting the entire triangle horizontally and/or vertically without changing its shape or size. This movement is achieved by adding or subtracting values from the x and y coordinates of each vertex of the triangle.

For instance, if you have a triangle with vertices A, B, and C, and you want to translate it by a certain horizontal and vertical distance.
