In a translation, the line segments that connect each point on the preimage to the corresponding point on the image are not only congruent but also
a. perpendicular
b. intersecting
c. rotated
d. parallel

D. parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

A translation is a rigid transformation of a figure that moves each point of the figure (pre-image) a exact distance in a particular direction.

Since it moves each point on pre-image a particular distance in same direction, Thus the line segments that connect each point on the pre-image to the corresponding point on the image are parallel.

Hence, the complete statement will be :- In a translation, the line segments that connect each point on the pre-image to the corresponding point on the image are not only congruent but also parallel.

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
