Blake drew square A B C D. Then, he drew the image of it, square A apostrophe B apostrophe C apostrophe D apostrophe comma 2 centimeters to the right of the original figure. Line segment B C is 3 centimeters. How long is line segment B apostrophe C apostrophe ?
Ummhhh, how could moving the square 2 units to the right change
the length of any of its sides?
for heaven's sake, just type A'B'C'D' !!!!
All this dictation stuff just produces eye-watering gibberish!
and read up on rigid transformations, such as translation.
To find the length of line segment B' C', we need to use the information given in the question.
We know that line segment BC in the original square is 3 centimeters long, and line segment B'C' is 2 centimeters to the right of the original figure.
Since both BC and B'C' are parallel, we can conclude that line segment BC and B'C' have the same length.
Therefore, line segment B'C' is also 3 centimeters long.
