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

Since triangle XYZ is translated down 4 units and to the left 8 units, each corresponding point on the new triangle X'Y'Z' will be 4 units below and 8 units to the left of the corresponding point on triangle XYZ.

Therefore, since side XY is 10 units, the length of side X'Y' will also be 10 units.
