Question

Part IExplain why there must be a sequence of rigid transformations that will map ∆A'B'C' exactly onto ∆DEF. Find and perform one such sequence of rigid transformations. Describe the sequence of rigid transformations you performed. The triangles are in the image

Answer 1

The Solution:

Given the figure below:

Step 1:

We shall explain why there is a sequence of rigid transformations that map triangle A'B'C' onto triangle ABC.

There is a sequence of rigid transformations because the lengths of the triangles are the same.

Step 2:

We shall describe the sequence transformations that are performed.

The transformation is 4.5 units to the right and then 3 units up.
