To solve the problem of rotating △ABC 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin and then reflecting it across the y-axis, let’s find the coordinates step by step. I'll assume we have the original coordinates for triangle ABC as follows:

- A(x₁, y₁)
- B(x₂, y₂)
- C(x₃, y₃)

**Question 1: Rotate △ABC 90 degrees counterclockwise**

The formula for rotating a point (x, y) counterclockwise by 90 degrees about the origin is:
- (x, y) → (-y, x)

So we will apply this transformation to each vertex:

1. For point A (x₁, y₁):
A' = (-y₁, x₁)

2. For point B (x₂, y₂):
B' = (-y₂, x₂)

3. For point C (x₃, y₃):
C' = (-y₃, x₃)

Let's say the coordinates of the original triangle are:
- A(1, 2)
- B(3, 4)
- C(5, 6)

Then the new coordinates after rotation will be:
- A' = (-2, 1)
- B' = (-4, 3)
- C' = (-6, 5)

**Question 2: Reflect △A′B′C′ across the y-axis**

The formula for reflecting a point (x, y) across the y-axis is:
- (x, y) → (-x, y)

Applying this reflection to A', B', and C':
1. A'' = (2, 1) (A' = (-2, 1))
2. B'' = (4, 3) (B' = (-4, 3))
3. C'' = (6, 5) (C' = (-6, 5))

**Coordinates after reflection across the y-axis**
- A''(2, 1)
- B''(4, 3)
- C''(6, 5)

**Question 3: True or False?**
We need to determine whether △ABC is congruent to △A"B"C".

Since the first transformation was a rotation and the second transformation was a reflection, both of which preserve the shape and size of the triangle, we can conclude that:

- True: Since the triangles are congruent after the transformations.

So the answers would be:

**Question 1:**
A′ ( -2, 1)
B′ ( -4, 3)
C′ ( -6, 5)

**Question 2:**
A'' ( 2, 1)
B'' ( 4, 3)
C'' ( 6, 5)

**Question 3:**
True
