Question

It square ABDC is translated 2 units to the left and 4 units down to produce square A' B' D'C", what are the coordinates of B'?

Answer 1

To determine the new coordinates of point B' after translating square ABDC, we first need to know the original coordinates of point B.

Assuming the vertices of square ABDC are:
- A(x1, y1)
- B(x2, y2)
- D(x3, y3)
- C(x4, y4)

If point B is at coordinates (x2, y2), and we need to translate it 2 units to the left and 4 units down, we apply the following translation:

- For the x-coordinate: subtract 2
- For the y-coordinate: subtract 4

So the new coordinates for point B' would be calculated as follows:

\[
B' = (x2 - 2, y2 - 4)
\]

If you have specific coordinates for point B, please provide them so we can calculate the exact coordinates for B'.
