Jon performs 3 transformations on a pentagon. First, he reflects it over the x-axis. Then, he translates it 3 units to the left and 4 units up. Finally, he reflects the image over the line x = 1. Are the original and transformed images congruent? Justify your answer.

yes; Reflections and translations are rigid motions. Rigid motions preserve the size of the original image.

Reflection and translation do not change the dimensions (or angles) of the figure.

The original and transformed images are congruent.
