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

Respuesta :

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take point X and X' (it will be the same regardless of the point).

The distance is 3 units to the right then 4 units up.

A direct line will be diagonal and can be found using the pythagorean theorem (refer to visual).

(D: a > 0) 3² + 4² = a² --> 9 + 16 = a² --> a² = 25 --> a = 5

So the distance is 5 units.
