Question

Triangle XYZ is translated 4 units up and 3 units left to yield ΔX′Y′Z′. What is the distance between any two corresponding points on ΔXYZ and ΔX′Y′Z′?

Answer 1

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:

We will use the Pythagoras Theorem here:

 and we will get this:

c² = a² + b²

and here a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

After putting values in that we will get:

c²   = 3² + 4²

= 9 + 16

= 25

c = √25

= 5 units

so the final answer for this question is 5 units.

If there is any confusion please to leave a comment below.
