Question

translate triangle abc left 3 and down 6
To create the triangle click on the button "Polygon" and to finish creating your triangle click on the first point that you created.

Answer 1

To translate triangle ABC left by 3 units and down by 6 units, you can follow these steps:

1. **Identify the Original Coordinates:** Note the original coordinates of the vertices of triangle ABC. Let's say the vertices are A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), and C(x3, y3).

2. **Calculate the New Coordinates:**
- For each vertex, subtract 3 from the x-coordinate (to move left) and subtract 6 from the y-coordinate (to move down).
- New coordinates will be:
- A' = (x1 - 3, y1 - 6)
- B' = (x2 - 3, y2 - 6)
- C' = (x3 - 3, y3 - 6)

3. **Create the Translated Triangle:**
- Click on the "Polygon" button in your software or application.
- Enter the new coordinates sequentially to create the translated triangle:
- Start with A', then B', and then C'.
- Finally, click on point A' again to close the polygon and complete the triangle.

Now you have successfully translated triangle ABC left by 3 units and down by 6 units.
