Question

1. which is a true statement about the transformation? a. triangle abc was translated 8 units left and 3 units up. b. the pre - image is in quadrant ii. c. the orientation of the figure was changed. d. the orientation of the vertices was changed.

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement about the transformation (translation, likely), we analyze each option:

• Option A: If we consider a translation, moving 8 left and 3 up is a possible translation vector. For a triangle (pre - image and image), this kind of translation is consistent with how translations work (shifting all points by the same vector).
• Option B: Quadrant II is where \(x<0,y > 0\). If the pre - image (original triangle) is not in Quadrant II, this is false.
• Option C: Translation is a rigid transformation that preserves orientation (the way the figure is "facing" or the order of vertices). So orientation of the figure is not changed, so this is false.
• Option D: Similar to option C, translation preserves the orientation of the vertices (the cyclic order of vertices remains the same). So this is false.

Answer:

A. Triangle ABC was translated 8 units left and 3 units up.
