Question

If Carley uses transformations to map figure ABCDE to the other figure in order to examine corresponding sides, which side number corresponds to side AE in the pre-image?

Answer 1

In the preimage side AE is labeled 3

How to identify the side

The transformation from the preimage to the image is a rigid transformation

Rigid transformation are those type of transformation where the shape is preserved.

Examining the image properly, we can notice that side AE and AE share same vertex.

Side AE took one vertical line between point A and B. This makes it identical to point labeled 2 in the image. A closer examination will show that line 2 and 3 share same vertex too.

Hence we can say that part AE is same as 3
