After the reflection and the translation of XYZ, the length of segment Y'Z' is 6 units

<h3>How to determine the length of segment Y'Z' ?</h3>

The transformation is given as:

Both transformations are rigid transformations.

This means that the lengths YZ and Y'Z' would remain the same

The coordinates are given as:

Y = (8,3)

Z = (2,3)

Both points are on the same y coordinate.

So, the length YZ is

YZ = 8 - 2

Evaluate

YZ = 6

Hence, the length of segment Y'Z' is 6 units
