To show that △GHI ≅ △LKJ using rigid transformations, Bella should use a translation that aligns one of the corresponding points of the triangles. The correct choice would be to translate △GHI along a vector that takes point I to point L.
This is because both points (I and L) are corresponding vertices in triangles GHI and LKJ, respectively. By translating point I to point L, Bella can then further apply additional transformations (such as rotations or reflections, if necessary) to show that the triangles are congruent.
So, the best first step would be:
**Translate △GHI along a vector that takes point I to point L.**
