Translate △GHI along a vector that takes point I to point L.
Translate triangle upper G upper H upper I along a vector that takes point upper I to point upper L .

Translate △GHI along a vector that takes point G to point L.

Answer 1

To use the SSS triangle congruence criterion, we need to show that all three sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides of the other triangle. Therefore, Bella should first translate △GHI along a vector that takes point G to point J.
