Question

A line segment 12 units in length is rotated 180° and translated 4 units left to form a new line segment.

Enter the length, in units, of the new line segment.

Answer 1

Answer:

The same as the original

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The line segment isn’t getting dilated it is just being moved across the coordinate place.

Answer 2

Answer:

The new line segment is 12 units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you rotate the line segment 180° and translate it 4 units left, the length of the line segment will remain the same. This is because the series of transformations you performed on the segment are rigid transformations - transformations of a plane that preserve length. This includes rotations, translations, and reflections.

Hope this made sense. Good luck!
