Question

NEED HELP ASAP

a.) Are the two figures in the image congruent? Are they similar? What does this tell you about the geometric transformations you will need to transform one of these polygons into the other?

b.) Describe a series of at least two similar transformations that will transform ABC into A’B’C’:




c.) There is more than one way to transform ABC into A’B’C’. Describe a second sequence of transformations that will accomplish this goal. Explain what tool you used as an aid in identifying a transformation sequence.

Answer 1

a) The figures are not congruent, but similar. This tells me in order to transform one of the figures, I need to condense the shape and flip it over both horizontally and vertically in order for it to be identical.

b) condensing the figure, flipping horizontally, flipping vertically

c) sorry, not able to think of a second sequence off the top of my head.

Answer 2

The second way you can do it is rotate 180 degrees around point C , dilate ,then translate 3 units up and 2 units to the left
