5 right triangles are shown. Triangles 1, 2 and 4 have identical side lengths and angle measures. Triangle 4 is shifted down and to the right of triangle 1. Triangle 2 is rotated 180 degrees from triangle 1. Triangle 3 has a shorter base length measurement. Triangle 5 is larger than triangle 1.

Which figure is a translation of figure 1?

Figure
4

1 answer

Based on the description you provided:

  • Triangle 1 is the reference triangle.
  • Triangle 4 is a shifted version of Triangle 1, meaning it has the same side lengths and angle measures but is simply moved down and to the right.

Since a translation involves moving a figure without altering its size, shape, or orientation, Triangle 4 is indeed a translation of Triangle 1.

So, the answer is Figure 4.
