The triangles are congruent by SSS or HL.

Triangles M N Q and P Q N are connected at side Q N. Triangle M N Q is rotated about point N and then is shifted to the left to form triangle P Q N.

Which transformation(s) can map TriangleMNQ onto TrianglePQN?

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

rotation, then translation

Reason: the triangle is first rotated about N (so N and Q line up correctly) and then shifted (translated) left to make the remaining vertex coincide. A pure translation or pure reflection alone cannot achieve the pictured move.
