Question

Question 4
What do you observe about the distances between the three pairs of corresponding vertices for each movement? Based on your observations,
how would you define a translation? How can you extend what you know about the vertices of a shape to all the points on a shape during a
translation?

Answer 1

Answer:

The distances between the three pairs of corresponding vertices for each movement must be equal. That is, if you translate points A to A', B to B', et cetera, the distance between A and A', and B and B' are the same.

A translation is a rigid transformation that moves vertices of a figure a fixed distance.

In a general way, a translation moves all points on a shape a fixed distance.

Answer 2

Answer:

Each distance between the three pairs of corresponding vertices is the same. Based on this observation, a translation is a transformation in a coordinate plane that moves the vertices of a shape a fixed distance. In fact, a translation moves all points on a shape a fixed distance.
