6. A sequence of transformations is performed on a figure. Then a different sequence is performed on the same figure. The resulting images are not in the same position. Can they be congruent? Explain.

we have two different transformations

Rigid transformations and non rigid transformations

A rigid transformation produces congruent figures

A no rigid transformation produces similar figures

An example of rigid transformations is (translation, rotation, reflection)

An example of non rigid transformations is the dilation

so

if you have a sequence of transformations: translation-rotation-reflection, the final figure is a congruent figure with the original

If a different sequence is performed as : reflection-translation-rotation, the resulting images are not in the same position. but they are congruent

therefore

the answer is

Yes, they can be congruent
