What kind of translation has performed to map quadrilateral ABCD to quadrilateral EHGF

1 answer

To determine the kind of translation that maps quadrilateral ABCD to quadrilateral EHGF, we need to identify the relationship between the corresponding vertices of the two quadrilaterals.

  1. Identify the vertices: Identify the coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral ABCD (let's say A(x₁, y₁), B(x₂, y₂), C(x₃, y₃), D(x₄, y₄)) and the coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral EHGF (E(x₅, y₅), H(x₆, y₆), G(x₇, y₇), F(x₈, y₈)).

  2. Calculate the translation vector: The translation can be described by a vector (T_x, T_y) that indicates how much each point moves in the x and y directions. This vector can be found by examining the transformation of any corresponding points. For example, if point A moves to point E, then the translation vector is:

    \[ T_x = x_5 - x_1 \] \[ T_y = y_5 - y_1 \]

  3. Check consistency: Ensure that this translation vector is consistent for the other pairs of corresponding points:

    • B to H
    • C to G
    • D to F
  4. Conclusion: If the same translation vector applies to all corresponding pairs of points, then we have confirmed that a simple translation has been used to map ABCD to EHGF.

If you have specific coordinates, you could use those to compute the exact translation. In general, if a direct correspondence of points corroborates this calculation, it indicates a translation transformation with the defined vector.
