Firstly, we will select three corner points
A=(2,3)
B=(6,8)
C=(7,4)
we are given
the transformation with the rule (x, y)→(x, −y)
y--->-y
so, it is reflected about x-axis
so, we will multiply y-value by -1
we get new points as
A=(2,-3)
B=(6,-8)
C=(7,-4)
now, we can locate these points and draw graph
we get
The answer is: 12 centimeters.
The explanation is shown below:
1. By definition, all four sides of the square are equal and the diagonals are equal too.
2. Keeping the information above on mind, you know that AC and BD are equal:
3. Then, the length of BD is twice BE. So, you can calculate it as following:
4. Therefore, the lenght of AC is:
