Question

Here are two polygons:

Select all sequences of translations, rotations, and reflections below that would take polygon P to polygon Q


A Translate so that A is taken to J then reflect over line AE

B Rotate 240° counterclockwise around point E

C Rotate 180° counterclockwise around E and reflect over AE

D Reflect over AE and translate so that A is taken to J

E Rotate 120° clockwise around point E

Answer 1

Sure, I'd be happy to help! Here are the sequences of translations, rotations, and reflections that would take polygon P to polygon Q:

1. Translate so that A is taken to J:

A -> J

2. Reflect over line AEB:

A -> E -> B

3. Rotate 240° counterclockwise around point EC:

E -> C -> E

4. Rotate 180° counterclockwise around E and reflect over AED:

E -> A -> E

5. Reflect over AE and translate so that A is taken to JE:

A -> E -> J

Here's the bolded answer portion using HTML:

A -> J -> E -> B -> C -> E -> A -> J
