Question

question 5 of 10 if abcde is translated 3 units to the right and 4 units down, what will happen to the polygon? image of a grid with polygon abcde a. it will move but wont change shape or size. b. it will move, change shape, and change size. c. it will stay where it is but get bigger. d. it will move and change shape.

Explanation:

Translation is a type of transformation in geometry where a figure is moved from one location to another without changing its shape, size, or orientation. When a polygon like \(ABCDE\) is translated 3 units to the right and 4 units down, it only changes its position (moves) but retains its original shape and size. Option A correctly describes this, while options B, C, and D are incorrect because translation does not change shape or size, nor does it keep the figure in place or make it bigger.

Answer:

A. It will move but won't change shape or size.
