To determine the translation of quadrilateral ABCD, we need to identify the original coordinates of the points and compare them with their new positions after the translation.

Let's assume the original points of quadrilateral ABCD are:

  • A(2, 2)
  • B(4, 6)
  • C(4, 10)
  • D(2, 6)

If we need to find the translation, we will compare these coordinates to their new coordinates after the translation.

To provide a calculated example, let's say the quadrilateral ABCD has been moved to new coordinates:

  • A'(x', y')
  • B'(x', y')
  • C'(x', y')
  • D'(x', y')

Here’s how you can determine the translation:

  1. Find the difference in the x-coordinates (horizontal translation) and the difference in the y-coordinates (vertical translation) for any one of the points before and after the translation.
  2. The horizontal translation (units to the right or left) is given by \[ \Delta x = x' - x \]
  3. The vertical translation (units up or down) is given by \[ \Delta y = y' - y \]

If no specific new coordinates are given, we cannot solve the translation numerically. Please provide the new coordinates, and we can find the translation units to the right and units down.
