Math Problem Statement

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to determine the translation vector represented by the arrow and apply this translation to the vertices AA, BB, and CC of triangle ABCABC to find the new vertices AA', BB', and CC'.

Let's break it down step by step:

  1. Determine the Translation Vector:

    • Identify the start and end points of the arrow to find the translation vector.
    • From the image, the arrow starts at (3,6)(3, 6) and ends at (5,4)(5, 4).
    • The translation vector v\vec{v} can be found by subtracting the coordinates of the start point from the end point: v=(53,46)=(2,2)\vec{v} = (5 - 3, 4 - 6) = (2, -2)
  2. Apply the Translation Vector:

    • Apply the vector v=(2,2)\vec{v} = (2, -2) to each vertex AA, BB, and CC.
  3. Calculate the New Coordinates:

    • For vertex AA at (1,5)(1, 5): A=(1+2,52)=(3,3)A' = (1 + 2, 5 - 2) = (3, 3)
    • For vertex BB at (1,3)(1, 3): B=(1+2,32)=(3,1)B' = (1 + 2, 3 - 2) = (3, 1)
    • For vertex CC at (4,3)(4, 3): C=(4+2,32)=(6,1)C' = (4 + 2, 3 - 2) = (6, 1)
  4. Plot the New Points:

    • AA' is at (3,3)(3, 3)
    • BB' is at (3,1)(3, 1)
    • CC' is at (6,1)(6, 1)

This confirms the new triangle ABCA'B'C' is correctly plotted in the image you provided.

Would you like further details on this solution or have any additional questions? Here are some questions you might consider asking:

  1. How do I find the coordinates of a point after a translation?
  2. What are the properties of translations in geometry?
  3. How can I verify the correctness of a geometric transformation?
  4. What other types of transformations can be applied to geometric shapes?
  5. How do different transformations affect the coordinates of a shape?

Tip: Always double-check the coordinates of points after applying transformations to ensure accuracy.
