Question

Move triangle ABC so it lies on top of triangle DEF, triangle GHI, and triangle JKL. How many units do you have to move triangle ABC from its original location to coincide with each of the other triangles? Specify how triangle ABC moves up, down, left, or right.

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the diagram of coordinates of the three triangles are not given.

A general explanation is as follows:

First, record the coordinates of the corresponding points of the three triangles.

For instance; In triangles ABC, DEF and GHI; A, D and G are corresponding points.

Now, assume the coordinates are:

$A = (1,1)$

$D = (1,5)$

$G= (-2,1)$

Point D is 4 points to the right of A;

i.e.

$D =(1,1+4) = (1,5)$

Hence, ABC will be moved 4 units right to lie on DEF

Similarly, point G is 3 units down of A

i.e.

$G =(1-3,1) = (-2,1)$

Hence, ABC will be moved 3 units down to lie on GHI.
