Question

1. △abc is translated 9 units to the left and 3 units up to create △abc.

what is the length of segment ab?
type a response

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the property of translation

Translation is a rigid transformation. Rigid transformations (translations, rotations, reflections) preserve the lengths of segments and the measures of angles.

Step2: Relate the length of \(AB\) and \(A'B'\)

Since \(\triangle ABC\) is translated to \(\triangle A'B'C'\), the length of segment \(AB\) is equal to the length of segment \(A'B'\). Given that the length of \(AB = 8\).

Answer:

\(8\)
