Question

Use the drop-down menus below to state the sequence of transformations that maps Figure E onto Figure F in the animation below. Then use those transformations to determine: are the two figures congruent? Use the drop-down menus to explain why or why not.

Answer 1

dilation, reflection

They are not congruent because dilations are used.

Explanation:

You dilate figure E by 1/2 to create the transparent figure you have on the coordinate plane.

Reflecting that over the y-axis gives you figure F

Step 1: Dilate by 1/2

Step 2: Reflect across the y-axis.
