To demonstrate that the triangles are congruent through transformations, we need to identify the transformations involved.
-
Rotation: The triangle in quadrant 2, formed by the points \((-4, 2)\), \((-2, 2)\), and \((-3, 4)\), can be rotated to align with the triangle in quadrant 1 located at \((1, 1)\), \((3, 1)\), and \((2, 3)\). To find the exact angle, it looks like a \(90\)-degree counterclockwise rotation would work as the points can be visualized aligning properly in those positions.
-
Translation: After rotating, the next transformation involved in demonstrating congruence would be a translation. The translation vector can be determined by finding how far the points of the triangle in quadrant 2 need to move to match the corresponding points of the triangle in quadrant 1.
For example:
-
Point \((-4, 2)\) needs to move to \((1, 1)\).
- The translation vector will be \( (1 - (-4), 1 - 2) = (5, -1) \).
-
Point \((-2, 2)\) needs to move to \((3, 1)\) with the same translation vector calculation, confirming \( (3 - (-2), 1 - 2) = (5, -1) \) again holds.
-
Lastly, point \((-3, 4)\) needs to move to point \((2, 3)\):
- Again, it confirms to move \( (2 - (-3), 3 - 4) = (5, -1) \).
-
Therefore, both transformations are a rotation of \(90\) degrees counterclockwise and a translation of \((5, -1)\).
In conclusion: Answer: rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise and translation of (5, -1)
