  • The right angle of her garden is 4 units left of vertex G of Kelsey's garden.
  • Vertex A of Nadia's garden is up 5 units from the right angle.
  • Vertex B of Nadia's garden is right 3 units from the right angle.
  • Brandon's garden is a reflection of Kelsey's garden across the x-axis. It is labeled MNOP.
  • Sophia's garden is a reflection of Nadia's garden across the y-axis. It is labeled triangleJKL.
  • Miguel's garden is a translation of Nadia's garden 6 units to the left and 9 units down. It is labeled triangleXYZ.
