The triangles are congruent by SSS and HL.

Triangles R S T and V W X are shown. Triangle R S T can be rotated about point S and then shifted down and to the left to form triangle V W X.

Which transformation(s) can be used to map △RST onto
△VWX?

reflection only
translation only
reflection, then translation
rotation, then translation

To map triangle RST onto triangle VWX, the transformations described in the problem state that triangle RST can be rotated about point S and then shifted down and to the left.

  1. Rotation: You can rotate triangle RST around point S to align it with triangle VWX.
  2. Translation: After rotation, you can translate (shift) the triangle down and to the left to fit triangle VWX perfectly.

Therefore, the correct transformation(s) that can be used to map △RST onto △VWX is:

Rotation, then translation.
