Question

The triangles are congruent by the SSS congruence theorem. Which rigid transformation(s) can map MNP onto TSR? Reflection only rotation only translation, then reflection translation, then rotation

Answer 1

the answer here is C) translation, then reflection

Explanation:

if you translate point P to point R and then translate across that point they map onto each other

Answer 2

The correct answer is: translation, then reflection.

Explanation:

In geometry, translation is described as the movement of an object or figure horizontally or vertically. While flipping an object or figure across a vertical or a horizontal line is called reflection.

From the attached picture, we can see that the figure can be shifted vertically from point P to R by some units.

And then if we reflect the figure NMP across the line which joins P & R we get the triangle STR.

Therefore, we need to first translate the triangle MNP and then reflect it to map onto TSR.
