Question

Quadrilateral ABCD is translated down and left to form quadrilateral OLMN. If AB = 6 units, BC = 5 units, CD = 8 units, and AD = 10 units, what is LO? 5 units 6 units 8 units 10 units

Answer 1

Answer:

6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A translation is called a rigid transformation or isometry.  It is a transformation that preserves congruence.

This means that all of the image sides will be congruent to the pre-image sides.

Based on the statement we are given, we know that AB and OL correspond.  This means that the length of AB in the pre-image will be the same as the length of OL in the image, or 6 units.

Answer 2

6 units. AB and LO are congruent sides, and if AB= 6 units, then LO would be the same.
