Describe the difference between the two given transformations. Translation 1: (x, y) --> (x+4,y+4)
Translation 2: (x, y) --> (4x,4y)

A The image in Transformation 1 has an area that is 4 times greater than the image in Transformation 2.
B The image in Transformation 2 moves the original triangle 4 units in each direction.
C All but one of the vertices in the image of Transformation 1 is different from the original.
D The image in Transformation 2 has a perimeter that is 4 times greater than the perimeter of the image in Transformation 1

c. 4 and 1/2 pounds is the answer! : )

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
