To determine if the shapes are congruent after the two transformations performed on Triangle ABC, we need to consider the properties of the transformations:
-
Reflection: Reflecting a shape over a line produces a congruent shape. The reflected image will have the same side lengths and angles as the original shape.
-
Second Transformation: You mentioned that the second transformation was a "transformation" followed by "and". If the second transformation is either a rotation or another reflection, the resulting shape will still be congruent to the original triangle. If it is a translation, the shape will also remain congruent.
In summary, as long as the transformations are reflections, rotations, or translations, Triangle ABC and the resulting shape will be congruent.
Answer to Question 2:
Yes, the shapes are congruent. This is because the transformations involved (reflection and potentially rotation or translation) preserve the size and shape of Triangle ABC.
