E Reflection followed by translation

Answer 1

To maintain congruence in a geometric transformation, the transformation must preserve the size and shape of the figure. The transformations that maintain congruence are:

A. Translation followed by rotation
C. Rotation followed by a reflection
E. Reflection followed by translation

These transformations do not alter the dimensions or angles of the original figure, thus maintaining congruence.

**So the correct answers are A, C, and E.**
