Here are the transformations and calculations:

Initial vertices:
A$(1, 2)$
B$(3, 4)$
C$(2, 0)$

  1. Translate △ABC using the vector (−4−3)\begin{pmatrix} -4 \\ -3 \end{pmatrix} to obtain △A′B′C′.

    The coordinate rule for translation by vector (ab)\begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \end{pmatrix} is (x,y)→(x+a,y+b)(x, y) \to (x+a, y+b).
    For this step, the rule is (x,y)→(x−4,y−3)(x, y) \to (x-4, y-3).

    A′=(1−4,2−3)=(−3,−1)A' = (1-4, 2-3) = (-3, -1) B′=(3−4,4−3)=(−1,1)B' = (3-4, 4-3) = (-1, 1) C′=(2−4,0−3)=(−2,−3)C' = (2-4, 0-3) = (-2, -3)
  2. Reflect △A′B′C′ in the y-axis to obtain △A″B″C″.

    The coordinate rule for reflection in the y-axis is (x,y)→(−x,y)(x, y) \to (-x, y).

    A′′=(−(−3),−1)=(3,−1)A'' = (-(-3), -1) = (3, -1) B′′=(−(−1),1)=(1,1)B'' = (-(-1), 1) = (1, 1) C′′=(−(−2),−3)=(2,−3)C'' = (-(-2), -3) = (2, -3)
  3. Rotate △A″B″C″ through 90° anticlockwise about the origin to obtain △A‴B‴C‴.

    The coordinate rule for a 90° anticlockwise rotation about the origin is (x,y)→(−y,x)(x, y) \to (-y, x).

    A′′′=(−(−1),3)=(1,3)A''' = (-(-1), 3) = (1, 3) B′′′=(−(1),1)=(−1,1)B''' = (-(1), 1) = (-1, 1) C′′′=(−(−3),2)=(3,2)C''' = (-(-3), 2) = (3, 2)
  4. Enlarge △A‴B‴C‴ with a scale factor of k=2k = 2 centred at the origin to obtain △A⁴B⁴C⁴.

    The coordinate rule for enlargement with scale factor kk centred at the origin is (x,y)→(kx,ky)(x, y) \to (kx, ky).
    For this step, the rule is (x,y)→(2x,2y)(x, y) \to (2x, 2y).

    A4=(2⋅1,2⋅3)=(2,6)A^4 = (2 \cdot 1, 2 \cdot 3) = (2, 6) B4=(2⋅(−1),2⋅1)=(−2,2)B^4 = (2 \cdot (-1), 2 \cdot 1) = (-2, 2) C4=(2⋅3,2⋅2)=(6,4)C^4 = (2 \cdot 3, 2 \cdot 2) = (6, 4)
  5. Graphing the triangles.

    To graph, plot the following vertices for each triangle on a coordinate plane and connect them:

    • △ABC: A(1, 2), B(3, 4), C(2, 0)
    • △A′B′C′: A′(-3, -1), B′(-1, 1), C′(-2, -3)
    • △A″B″C″: A″(3, -1), B″(1, 1), C″(2, -3)
    • △A‴B‴C‴: A‴(1, 3), B‴(-1, 1), C‴(3, 2)
    • △A⁴B⁴C⁴: A⁴(2, 6), B⁴(-2, 2), C⁴(6, 4)
  6. Calculate the perimeter of △ABC.

    The distance formula is d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}.

    AB=(3−1)2+(4−2)2=22+22=4+4=8AB = \sqrt{(3-1)^2 + (4-2)^2} = \sqrt{2^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{4+4} = \sqrt{8} BC=(2−3)2+(0−4)2=(−1)2+(−4)2=1+16=17BC = \sqrt{(2-3)^2 + (0-4)^2} = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{1+16} = \sqrt{17} CA=(1−2)2+(2−0)2=(−1)2+22=1+4=5CA = \sqrt{(1-2)^2 + (2-0)^2} = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{1+4} = \sqrt{5}

    Perimeter of △ABC =8+17+5= \sqrt{8} + \sqrt{17} + \sqrt{5}

  7. Calculate the perimeter of △A⁴B⁴
