Solution
The problem describes a series of translations for triangle with vertices , , and . The translations occur in two steps:
- The first translation moves the points by , producing triangle .
- The second translation moves triangle by , producing triangle .
Part (a): Find the coordinates for the vertices of triangle .
-
First translation (for triangle ):
- For vertex :
- For vertex :
- For vertex :
So, after the first translation, the vertices of triangle are:
-
Second translation (for triangle ):
- For vertex :
- For vertex :
- For vertex :
So, the vertices of triangle are:
Part (b): Write a rule for one translation that maps triangle to triangle .
Instead of performing two translations separately, we can combine them into one:
- The first translation is .
- The second translation is .
We can combine these transformations as follows:
So, the combined translation that maps triangle directly to triangle is:
Do you want more details or have any other questions? Here are some related questions:
- What would happen if you only apply the second translation to triangle ?
- Can you reverse the process to find the original triangle from ?
- How can you describe the translations in vector form?
- What would the vertices of triangle be if the first translation was different?
- How do these translations affect the area and orientation of the triangle?
Tip: When combining multiple transformations, always apply one transformation at a time and simplify the overall movement into a single translation if possible.
