Translation is a rigid transformation.
The characteristics that will remain the same are: (a) side length and (b) area
When a polygon is translated, the polygon undergoes a rigid transformation.
A rigid transformation does not change the side length and angle of a shape.
- The side lengths of the polygon would remain unchanged.
- Since the side lengths are not altered, then the area of the polygon will also remain unchanged.
However, the coordinates would change; because the polygon would change its position after translation.
Hence, the correct options are:
(a) and (b)
