Question

Describe a series of transformations that shows if Figure A is similar or congruent to Figure B. Figure A is __________________ to Figure B

Answer 1

Hello!

First, let's analyze these two images:

We can say that they are congruent because they have the same shape (triangle) and size.

Now, let's talk about the transformations:

First, notice that points C and C' are in the same y-coordinate, right?

So, in the first step, we can translate the figure three units to the right.

Doing it, look that the lines AC and A'C' are perpendicular (it means that the angle between them is 90º).

So, we can rotate this figure 90º counterclockwise.

Answer:

2 transformations were used:

• Translation,: 3 units to the right

,

• Rotation,: 90º counterclockwise.
