Tina plans to make wooden frames to put her two triangular art pieces in. How much wood would she need fortriangle DFG?

in.

54 in.

Step-by-step explanation:  So, the problem does something a little sneaky, and that is they ask for the TOTAL amount of wood needed for triangle DFG.  And to find that, we simply have to multiply side AC by 3 to get side DG.  We do this because triangle ABC is 3 times as small as triangle DFG.   Then, add your side DG that you just got, (21) to side FG and FD to get the total amount of wood needed, 54 in.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
