3: Translations along the vector mapping point G to point N then rotation -90 degrees (clockwise about point G 
4:rotation -90 degrees (clockwise) about point J then translation along the vector, mapping point H to Z

GPT 3.5 · Answer

To prove that triangles GHJ and ZNP are congruent, we need to show that all corresponding angles and sides are congruent.

Let's analyze each option:

1. Translations along the vector mapping point J to point P, then rotation -90 degrees (clockwise) about point J:
This option would only move triangle GHJ to a different position in the plane, but it would not change its shape. Therefore, it would not map GHJ to ZNP.

2. Translations along the vector mapping point J to point P, then rotation 90 degrees (counterclockwise) about point J:
Similar to option 1, this option would only change the position of GHJ, not its shape. It would not map GHJ to ZNP.

3. Translations along the vector mapping point G to point N, then rotation -90 degrees (clockwise) about point G:
This option involves a translation and a rotation. While the translation would move the triangle's vertices, the clockwise rotation about G would alter the position of the sides and angles. This combination of transformations would not map GHJ to ZNP.

4. Rotation -90 degrees (clockwise) about point J, then translation along the vector mapping point H to Z:
This option also involves a rotation and a translation. The clockwise rotation about J would change the orientation of the triangle, and the subsequent translation would move it to a new position. This combination of transformations would not map GHJ to ZNP.

None of the given options would map GHJ to ZNP. Therefore, it cannot be proven that the triangles are congruent using these rigid motions.
