Question

A quadrilateral PQRS is translated to the left by 4 units to obtain another quadrilateral P᾿Q᾿R᾿S᾿

Answer 1

Answer:

the length of PQ is equal to the length of P'Q'

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are reflection, rotation, translation and dilation.

Translation is the movement of a point either up, down, right or left. Translation is a type of rigid transformation. Rigid transformation is a transformation in which both the image and pre-image have the same shape and size. types of rigid transformation are rotation, reflection and translation.

Quadrilateral PQRS is translated to the left by 4 units to obtain another quadrilateral P᾿Q᾿R᾿S᾿. Since translation is a rigid transformation, the shape and size of PQRS is the same as that of P'Q'R'S. Hence the length of PQ is equal to the length of P'Q'.
