To demonstrate that a pre-image and an image are congruent using transformations, follow these steps:
1. **Identify Corresponding Parts**: Determine which parts of the pre-image correspond to parts of the image.
2. **Apply Translations**: Move the pre-image without altering its shape or size using a translation to align with the image.
3. **Use Rotations**: If necessary, rotate the pre-image around a point to match the orientation of the image.
4. **Implement Reflections**: If the image is a mirror image of the pre-image, reflect the pre-image across a line of symmetry to align it with the image.
5. **Confirm Congruence**: After applying these transformations, if the pre-image matches the image exactly, they are congruent.
By performing these transformations, you can visually and mathematically show that the two figures are congruent.
