To determine the specific translation of triangle ABC, you would need to refer to a graph or coordinate system that shows the original position of the triangle and its new position after translation.
A translation in geometry involves moving a shape from one location to another without changing its size, shape, or orientation. The translation can be described by specifying how much it moves horizontally (to the right or left) and vertically (up or down).
Here’s how to interpret the translations mentioned:
- Option a: 2 units to the right and 7 units down means that every point of triangle ABC is moved 2 units right on the x-axis and 7 units down on the y-axis.
- Option b: 3 units to the right and 6 units down means each point moves 3 units right and 6 units down.
- Option c: 3 units to the right and 7 units down indicates a movement of 3 units right and 7 units down.
If you can provide the coordinates of the original triangle ABC and the transformed triangle, I can help you determine which option corresponds to the translation applied to triangle ABC.
