  1. Travel Your friend and her parents are visiting colleges. They leave their home in Enid, Oklahoma, and drive to Tulsa, which is 107 mi east and 18 mi south of Enid. From Tulsa, they go to Norman, 83 mi west and 63 mi south of Tulsa. Where is Norman in relation to Enid?

  1. In the diagram below, the orange figure is a translation image of the red figure. Write a rule that describes the translation.

    Two figures are plotted on a grid.

  2. Think About a Plan cap delta m u g  has coordinates m open 2 comma negative 4 close comma u open 6 comma 6 close comma , and g open 7 comma 2 close .  A translation maps point M to m prime , open negative 3 comma 6 close .  What are the coordinates of u prime  and g prime  for this translation?
    • How can you use a graph to help you visualize the problem?
    • How can you find a rule that describes the translation?
  3. Coordinate Geometry PLAT has vertices p open negative 2 comma 0 close comma l open negative 1 comma 1 close comma eh open 0 comma 1 close comma  and t open negative 1 comma 0 close . . p prime , l prime , eh prime , t prime  is the image of PLAT for the translation open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x plus 2 comma y minus 3 close .  Show that p , p prime bar . comma . l , l prime bar . comma . eh , eh prime bar . comma  and t , t prime bar  are all parallel.

Geometry in 3 Dimensions Follow the sample below. Use each figure, graph paper, and the given translation to draw a three-dimensional figure.

SAMPLE Use the rectangle and open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x plus 3 comma y plus 1 close  to draw a box.

  • Step 1

    A rectangle on graph paper has top and bottom sides extending five units and left and right sides extending three units. From each vertex, an arrow leads three units right and one unit up to a dot.

  • Step 2

    The dots of the previous figure are connected as a rectangle, and connecting to the corresponding vertices of the original rectangle, forming a box.

  1. open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x plus 2 comma y minus 1 close

    A rectangle on graph paper has top and bottom sides extending six units and left and right sides extending four units.

  2. open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x minus 2 comma y plus 2 close

    A triangle on graph paper has left side extending four units vertically, and right vertex five units right from the middle of the left side.

  3. open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x minus 3 comma y minus 5 close

    A kite on graph paper has top and bottom vertices six units apart, and left and right sides two units below and three units left and right, respectively, from the top vertex.

  4. Open-Ended You are a graphic designer for a company that manufactures wrapping paper. Make a design for wrapping paper that involves translations.
  5. Reasoning The translation open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x plus 5 comma y plus 7 close  maps cap delta m n o  onto cap delta , m prime , n prime , o prime , .  What translation rule maps cap delta , m prime , n prime , o prime , .  onto cap delta m n o question mark
  6. Landscaping The diagram below shows the site plan for a backyard storage shed. Local law, however, requires the shed to sit at least 15 ft from property lines. Describe how to move the shed to comply with the law.

    A site plan has a shed places 5 feet north of the southern property line and 10 feet east of the west property line.

  7. Computer Animation You write a computer animation program to help young children learn the alphabet. The program draws a letter, erases the letter, and makes it reappear in a new location two times. The program uses the following composition of translations to move the letter.

    open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x plus 5 comma y plus 7 close  followed by open x comma y close rightwards arrow . open x minus 9 comma y minus 2 close

    Suppose the program makes the letter W by connecting the points (1, 2), (2, 0), (3, 2), (4, 0) and (5, 2). What points does the program connect to make the last W?
