John draws a square on a coordinate plane. Then, he draws an image of the square 3 units to the right of the original square. What is true about the corresponding sides of the original figure and the image?
A.The corresponding sides are skew.
B.The corresponding sides intersect at one point.
C.The corresponding sides intersect at an infinite number of points.
D.The corresponding sides are parallel.
i guessed D but im confused so idk?
its D im pretty sure
HALP TEACJER
Well, isn't that square-rific! If John drew an image of the square 3 units to the right, that means he just shifted it horizontally. So, the corresponding sides of the original figure and the image will be parallel. That's option D, my friend! Good job, John! Keep spreading the squared love!
To determine the relationship between the corresponding sides of the original figure and the image, it's important to understand what each statement means:
A. Skew: Skew lines are non-coplanar (they do not lie in the same plane) and do not intersect.
B. Intersection at one point: This implies that the corresponding sides intersect at a single point.
C. Intersection at an infinite number of points: This suggests that the corresponding sides intersect at multiple points, forming a continuous path.
D. Parallel: Parallel lines lie in the same plane and never intersect.
In this case, since John drew the image of the square 3 units to the right of the original square, the corresponding sides of the original figure and the image will also be parallel. This makes the correct answer option:
D. The corresponding sides are parallel.
