To show how AAS follows from the definition of congruence, answer the following question. What rigid transformation maps △A"B"C" → △DEF ? (1 point) Responses reflection reflection translation translation rotation rotation dilation

1 answer

To determine what rigid transformation maps triangle \( \triangle A"B"C" \) to triangle \( \triangle DEF \), we need to understand that rigid transformations include translations, rotations, and reflections, but not dilations.

  1. Translation: This means sliding the triangle without rotating or flipping it.
  2. Rotation: This means turning the triangle around a fixed point.
  3. Reflection: This means flipping the triangle over a line (the line of reflection acts as a mirror).

To find the exact transformation, we would typically analyze the position and orientation of the triangles. However, without specific coordinates or descriptions of the triangles given in your question, we cannot definitively choose one of these transformations.

Still, we can conclude generally that any of these rigid transformations could be the answer, as they would maintain the congruence of the triangles. If you provided the positions of the triangles or more context, we could identify which specific transformation applies.

But strictly based on the options you've given, any of these could potentially be correct depending on the specific configuration of the triangles:

  • Reflection
  • Translation
  • Rotation

If you have further details or context, I'd be happy to help refine the answer!
