Triangle Translations and Notation

Mr. Stald introduces the concept of compositions in geometry, focusing on translating a triangle. He demonstrates translating triangle JKL along two vectors: first by -6 units left and 2 units up, and then by 3 units right and 1 unit up. The process involves moving each vertex of the triangle and renaming them as J'K'L' and J''K''L''. Mr. Stald also explains the notation used for these transformations and concludes with instructions on how to write this on an exam.
