1. The problem asks us to find the new coordinates of the vertices of a square after a translation 3 units to the right and 8 units down.
2. The original vertices are given as:
- K(1, 2)
- L(1, 10)
- M(5, 10)
- N(5, 2)
3. Translation rules for coordinates:
- To move a point right by $a$ units, add $a$ to the x-coordinate.
- To move a point down by $b$ units, subtract $b$ from the y-coordinate.
4. Applying the translation of 3 units right and 8 units down:
- For K: $x' = 1 + 3 = 4$, $y' = 2 - 8 = -6$
- For L: $x' = 1 + 3 = 4$, $y' = 10 - 8 = 2$
- For M: $x' = 5 + 3 = 8$, $y' = 10 - 8 = 2$
- For N: $x' = 5 + 3 = 8$, $y' = 2 - 8 = -6$
5. Therefore, the new coordinates after translation are:
- K'(4, -6)
- L'(4, 2)
- M'(8, 2)
- N'(8, -6)
