To determine the transformations that moved triangle ABC to triangle XYZ, we would need specific information about the triangles' positions, orientations, and sizes. However, I can provide a general approach to answer your questions.
a. **Transformations**:
1. **Rotation**: If triangle XYZ is oriented differently than triangle ABC, we would determine the angle and direction of rotation (e.g., "Rotated by 90 degrees clockwise").
2. **Reflection**: If triangle XYZ is a mirror image of triangle ABC across a certain line, we would identify the reflecting line (e.g., "Reflected over line x = 2").
The exact amount and type of transformations would depend on a visual analysis of the triangles.
b. **Congruence**:
To determine if the shapes are congruent, we would look at their corresponding sides and angles. If all corresponding sides have the same length and all corresponding angles are equal, then the triangles are congruent. In geometric terms, two shapes are congruent if one can be transformed into the other via rigid transformations (rotations, reflections, translations) without any change in size or shape.
In summary, without specific details regarding triangles ABC and XYZ, it's not possible to provide a definitive answer, but this framework can guide you in analyzing the transformations and congruence.
