3. 2.

   Bo slides a bus sticker 4 units down. Side FG is 7 units long, and the table row is FG | F′G′ = 7 | ?. How long is F′G′?

   7

4. Use this

   Coordinate grid, all four quadrants, each square one unit, 20 squares across (−10 to 10), origin in the middle. The castle sticker with side DH marked and an arrow 7 units left; the image is not drawn. Table side | length: DH | 5; D′H′ | ?

5. 3.

   Esme slides a castle sticker 7 units left. Side DH is 5 units long, and the table row is DH | D′H′ = 5 | ?. How long is D′H′?
