OMG i really need help!! Provide the coordinates of a parallelogram A’B’C’D’ that is congruent to parallelogram ABCD. Explain why these figures are congruent. (4 points) Part II: Provide the coordinates of a parallelogram A’’B’’C’’D’’ that is similar to parallelogram ABCD. Explain why these figures are similar. (6 points) Observe parallelogram ABCD plotted on the coordinate plane below.

I am blind.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where are the primes? optimus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what kind of transformation did you do to get A', B', .... reflection? rotation? translation? etc...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i added the picture it's labled hard work.so u can see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I don't see A', B', ... these are images of A, B, ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummmm this has nothing to do with transalations. it has to do with congruent and similar quadrilaterals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, I think I understand. you need to provid A', B', C',... so that the quadrilaterals are congruent.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

A'=(-6,3) B'=(-4,7) C'=(2,7) D'=(0,3)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

These figures are congruent because they have the same shape and the same size.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try doing this... subtract 3 from each x-coordinate of the vertices. don't do anything with the y-coordinate. that's how you can get A', B',... notice that is actually a translation?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

A''=(0,0) B''=(1,2) C''=(4,2) D''=(3,0)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The figures are similar because they have the same shape but not the same size.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tHANK YOU.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mERTSJ DID YOU just reduce the size of the corrdinates to get a similar figure

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Or you could make them larger. It doesn't have to be a smaller figure to be similar.
