To determine the transformations needed to show that the triangles are congruent, we would typically analyze the positions and orientations of the triangles. However, without a specific diagram or more context about the triangles, I can offer general advice:
-
Possible Transformations for Congruence:
- Rotation: This involves turning the triangle around a point.
- Reflection: This involves flipping the triangle over a line.
- Translation: This involves sliding the triangle to a different position.
- Dilation: This involves resizing the triangle but usually indicates similarity rather than congruence.
Based on the options provided, if you need to choose two transformations, "Rotation and Reflection" or "Translation and Reflection" could be likely pairs for congruence.

Congruency Theorems:
- SSS (Side-Side-Side): All three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of another triangle.
- AAS (Angle-Angle-Side): Two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle.
- ASA (Angle-Side-Angle): Two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle.
- HL (Hypotenuse-Leg): Specific to right triangles where the hypotenuse and one leg are equal.
- AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle): Not a valid congruency theorem since it only indicates similarity.
Without the actual triangles to analyze, the best congruency theorem usually used with rotations and reflections is ASA or AAS. However, SSS can also justify congruence if the sides are preserved through transformations.
Please provide a diagram or description of the triangles for more accurate conclusions.
