Triangle XYZ is translated down 4 units and to the left 8 units. The length of side XY is 10 units. What is the length of side X′Y′?

1 answer

When a triangle is translated, the lengths of its sides remain unchanged. In this case, triangle XYZ is translated down 4 units and to the left 8 units, but the length of side XY (which is 10 units) will remain the same after the translation.

Thus, the length of side X′Y′, which is the corresponding side after the translation, is still 10 units.
