Page 297 Exercise 1 Answer
Label the vertices of the figures as ABCD and A′B′C′D′.
Check for the translation of each vertices.
Notice that there are equal translations and equal inclinations for each vertex.
Therefore, the figures have the same side lengths and same angle measures.
Equal translation and equal inclination of the vertices of the figure will result to the same side lengths and same angle measures of both figures.

Take the arbitrary coordinates for the home such as forming a rectangle.
Using the picture in the example for reference, take arbitrary points forming a square for the fireplace such as
E(0,0),F(0,2),G(2,0) and H(2,2)
Plot the coordinates for the home and the fireplace.
In order to move the fireplace, translate the coordinates as per instructions.
Move the x−coordinate of the point F(0,2) by 6 unitsto the right to get (6,2)
Move the y−coordinate of the new point (6,2) by 3 units towards the downward direction parallel to the negative y−axis to get(6,−1)
Similarly, translate the other coordinates of the fireplace with the x−coordinate by 6 units to the right and y−coordinate by 3 units to the down.
Similarly, plot the coordinates for the original position of the windowO(3,5) and P(4,5) then translate the coordinates pointO(3,5) by 5 units to the right to get Q(8,5).
Similarly, translate the other points to get the coordinates of the new window Q(8,5) and (9,5)
The new location of the window is shown by translating the old coordinates of the position by 5 units to the right.

Page 300 Exercise 2 Answer
Given:
A triangle with its translation.
To find:
How can the side lengths and angle measures for the two triangles be the same?
Recall that translation is a transformation that shifts a figure by space, but does not change the size, shape or orientation of the figure.
Therefore, both shapes are triangles of the same size and with congruent corresponding sides and angles.
Since translation moves the figure by the space and does not change its size, shape or orientation, both the initial triangle and its image are of the same size and with congruent corresponding sides and angles.
Page 300 Exercise 3 Answer
Given:
One vertex of a figure mapped to its image by translating the point 2 units left and 7 units down.
To find:
The rule that maps the other vertices of the figure to their images.
In order to find the rule that maps the vertices of the figure to their image use the tip mentioned.
Let (x, y) be a vertex of the original figure.
(x, y)
Translate the point 2 units left and 7 units down:
(x + (−2),y + (−7))
By using the signs in multiplication, it follows:
(x − 2,y − 7)
The rule that maps the vertices of the figure to their images is:
(x, y) → (x − 2,y − 7)

To find:
Correct figure which is translation of figure A
In order to find the correct figure which is translation of figure A use the tip mentioned.
The initial and the translated figure have the same size, shape and orientation.
Since figure C have a different orientation from figure A, it is not its image after a translation.
Since figure A and figure B have the same size, shape and orientation, assume that figure B is the image of figure A after a translation.
Vertices of figure B are obtained by translating the vertices of figure A 5 units upwards.
The figure B is the image of the figure A after a translation of 5 units upwards.

To find:
The translation needed to move the figure B to the same position as the image from the item 5.
In order to find the translation needed refer to the tip mentioned and then solve it accordingly.
From B to A the figure was translated 5 units downward.
From A to C the figure was reflected to the other side by multiplying −1 to the x values of figure A.
Figure B was translated 5 units downward then the x values were multiplied by −1 to obtain figure C.

To find:
Triangle whose image is translation of ΔDEF
In order to describe the translation, we need to refer to the tip mentioned.
The initial and the translated figure have the same size, shape, and orientation.
Since triangle △GHI and triangle △JKL have a different orientation from triangle △DEF,they are not its image after a translation.
Since triangle △DEF and triangle △MNO have the same size, shape and orientation, assume that triangle △MNO is the image of triangle △DEF after a translation.
The vertex N is obtained by translating the vertex E 10 units to the right.
The vertex M is obtained by translating the vertex D10 units to the right.
The vertex O is obtained by translating the vertex F 10 units right.
The triangle △MNO is the image of the triangle △DEF after a translation of 10 units right.

Given: Length of PQ.
To find: The length of P′Q′.
We will calculate the length by the properties of image formation.
The length of P′Q′ will be negative of the length of PQ.
So, the length of P′Q′ is −2.8
