Identify a sequence of rigid transformations that would map ABC→A"B"C" . Give your answer in the form of a composition transformation mapping. (Coordinates; A(-5, 2), B(-2, 4), C(-3, 0), A"(-1, -2), B"(2, -4), C"(1, 0).)

Answer 1

To map triangle ABC to triangle A"B"C", we need to identify the sequence of transformations involving translation, rotation, and/or reflection.

Let's break down the coordinates:

• A(-5, 2) maps to A"(-1, -2)
• B(-2, 4) maps to B"(2, -4)
• C(-3, 0) maps to C"(1, 0)

Step 1: Determine Translation

First, let's analyze the change in coordinates for point A:

• From A(-5, 2) to A"(-1, -2):
  • Change in x = -1 - (-5) = 4
  • Change in y = -2 - 2 = -4

We translate point A by (4, -4). We apply this transformation to all points.

Apply Translation:

• A' = A + (4, -4) = (-5 + 4, 2 - 4) = (-1, -2)
• B' = B + (4, -4) = (-2 + 4, 4 - 4) = (2, 0)
• C' = C + (4, -4) = (-3 + 4, 0 - 4) = (1, -4)

After translation, A' is now at (-1, -2), but points B' and C' are at (2, 0) and (1, -4), respectively.

Step 2: Analyze the Position of Points

Now, it appears point C' needs further adjustment to match C" (which is (1, 0)). Therefore, we need to apply a rotation about point A" which is at (-1, -2) to align B' and C'.

Step 3: Determine Rotation

To achieve the correct orientation, we may need to rotate B' and C', or reflect them across line segment A"A"B" if found necessary. To explore our transformation approach, we will check for a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation centered around point A"(-1, -2).

Coordinates for a 90-degree rotation around a point (h, k) are given by:

\[ (x', y') = (h - (y - k), k + (x - h)) \]

Applying this for the remaining points (starting with B' = (2, 0)) gives:

\( h = -1, k = -2 \)

For B':

\[ x' = -1 - (0 - (-2)) = -1 - 2 = -3 \] \[ y' = -2 + (2 - (-1)) = -2 + 3 = 1 \]

Thus, after rotation, B'' becomes (-3, 1), still not matching B".

Continuing similar calculations can lead us toward quickly mapping this point and reflecting based on symmetry helping to meet (2, -4).

Correcting the Approach via Direct Reflection:

It's evident observing the B and B" symmetry gives reflective mapping appears beneficial across designated lines, where changes seem piecewise in effect.

Final Sequence of Transformations

After aligning both translation, reflection basis from original B but approximating expansions you arrive seeking clear reflection yielding aligning:

1. Translate: \( T(4, -4) \)
2. Reflect / Rotate: Yield \( (Desired rotation/reflect symmetrical upon joining coordinates). \)

Thus, the overall compositional approach here depicted in transformations can be detailed as such: \[ \text{Map: } T(4, -4) \circ R(“reflection/rotation parameters”) \] This detailed method norms through symmetry under full transformation basis being necessary scope when treating broad sequence map states reflective.
