GPT-4o mini · Answer

To show that triangle $ \triangle GHI $ is congruent to triangle $ \triangle LJK $ using rigid transformations, and specifically to illustrate the SSS (Side-Side-Side) triangle congruence criterion, Bella should start by translating $ \triangle GHI $ so that one of its vertices aligns with a corresponding vertex of $ \triangle LJK $. The most appropriate first step would be to translate $ \triangle GHI $ along a vector that takes point $ G $ to point $ L $. This would appropriately position one vertex of $ \triangle GHI $ at a corresponding vertex $ L $ in $ \triangle LJK $, allowing her to work with the sides in the next steps to establish congruence. So, the correct response is: **Translate triangle $ GHI $ along a vector that takes point $ G $ to point $ L $.**
