### Problem 11

$O$ is a point equidistant from parallel lines $l_{1}$ and $l_{2}$ . A mapping $M$ maps each point $P$ of $l_{1}$ to the point $P^{\prime}$ where $\overrightarrow{P O}$ intersects $l_{2}$ .

b. Does this mapping preserve or distort distance?
c. If $l_{1}$ and $l_{2}$ were not parallel, would the mapping preserve distance? Illustrate your answer with a sketch.

### Problem 15

The transformation $T :(x, y) \rightarrow(x+y, y)$ preserves areas of figures even though it does not preserve distances. Illustrate this by drawing a square with vertices $A(2,3), B(4,3), C(4,5),$ and $D(2.5)$ and its image $A^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime} D^{\prime}$ . Find the area and perimeter of each figure.
