Question

How can ΔABC be mapped to ΔXYZ?

Triangles A B C and X Y Z are shown. The lengths of sides A B and X Y are 25 centimeters. The lengths of sides A C and X Z are 29 centimeters. Angles B A C and Y X Z are 36 degrees. Triangle A B C is slightly higher and to the left of triangle X Y Z. Triangle A B C is rotated to form triangle X Y Z.

First, translate ____________________. Next, rotate ΔABC about B to align the sides and angles.

vertex B to vertex Z
vertex B to vertex Y
vertex A to vertex Z
vertex A to vertex Y

Answer 1

vertex B to vertex Y

Explanation: A corresponds to X (angles at A and X match) and B to Y, C to Z. So translate B to Y, then rotate about that point to send A to X and C to Z.
