Question

Pentagon CDEFG is shown on the coordinate plane. Pentagon CDEFG is translated 7 units up and 5 units left, resulting in C'D'E'F'G' (not shown.) Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete each sentence.
The length of line segment FG is greater,than,less than,equal to.


The perimeter of pentagon CDEFG is less then greater than or equal to the perimeter of pentagon C'D'E'F'G.

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of line segment FG is equal to the length of F'G'

The perimeter of pentagon CDEFG is equal to the perimeter of pentagon C'D'E'F'G.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

CDEFG and C'D'E'F'G

Translation: 7 units up and 5 units left

Solving (a): Segment FG and F'G'

When a shape is translated, the resulting image will have the same lengths as the original image (i.e, translation does not change measurements)

Hence:

$FG = F'G'$

Solving (b): Perimeter CDEFG and C'D'EF'G'

In (a), we established that lengths do not change during translation;

Hence:

The perimeter of the CDEFG and C'D'EF'G' will remain the same
