Triangle FGH is translated using the rule (x,y) > (x+3,y-1). What are the coordinates of H ?
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise you must remember that the original figure (before a transformation) is called "Pre-Image" and the one obtained after the transformation is called "Image".
A Translation is defined as a transformation in which the figure is moved a fixed distance in a fixed direction. In this kind of transformatiosn the size and shape do not change and the figure is not flipped.
In this case you know that the Pre-Image is the Triangle FGH.
You can identify in the picture that its vertex H has these coordinates:
Where:
Since the rule is:
→
You can substitute the coordinates of H into the given rule in order to find the coordinates of H'. This is:

Solving for <em>Edges</em>
You would use this law under <em>two</em> conditions:
- One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the <em>third edge</em>
- ALL three edges defined
* Just make sure to use the <em>inverse</em> function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

Now, JUST IN CASE, you would use the Law of Sines under <em>three</em> conditions:
- Two angles and one edge defined, while trying to solve for the <em>second edge</em>
- One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the <em>second angle</em>
- ALL three angles defined [<em>of which does not occur very often, but it all refers back to the first bullet</em>]
* I HIGHLY suggest you keep note of all of this significant information. You will need it going into the future.
