We determine that the correct choice is: B. The length of [tex]A'B'[/tex] must be equal to the length of [tex]AB[/tex].

Vectorially speaking, any point is translated by means of the following formula:

[tex]P'(x,y) = P(x,y) + T(x,y)[/tex] (1)

Where:

  • [tex]P(x,y)[/tex] - Original point.
  • [tex]P'(x,y)[/tex] - Translated point.
  • [tex]T(x,y)[/tex] - Translation vector.

Since the entire quadrilateral is translated the same distance, then the length of [tex]A'B'[/tex] is equal to the length of [tex]AB[/tex]. Hence, the correct choice is B.
