Question

Use the drop-down menus below to state the sequence of transformations that maps Figure D onto Figure E 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

Reflection, Translation

Congruent, reflections, and translations

Explanation:

You reflect it diagonally and translate it by 3 units down.

Reflecting diagonally gives you the grayed-out shape, and translating it 3 units down will give you Figure E.

The shape is the same because no changes in size were used.
