To determine the two rigid transformations that were performed on figure ABCD to produce the congruent figure WXYZ, we need to analyze the transformations described in the options.
- Shifting (translation) involves moving every point of the figure the same distance in a specified direction.
- Rotating involves turning the figure around a point (usually the origin) by a certain angle.
From the options listed:
- When the figure is shifted 3 units to the left and 5 units up, it means that all points (x, y) of ABCD will be transformed to (x - 3, y + 5).
- Rotating the figure -90° (clockwise) means that for each point (x, y), it will be transformed to (y, -x).
- Rotating 90° (counterclockwise) will transform (x, y) to (-y, x).
- A rotation of -270° (clockwise) is effectively the same as a 90° (counterclockwise).
To match the congruent figure WXYZ with transformations performed on ABCD, we would have to determine if a combination of the translations and particular rotations result in a matching arrangement.
Based on the options, the correct transformation would need to involve shifting the figure first, followed by a specific rotation.
Looking at the options provided:
- "ABCD was first shifted 3 units to the left and 5 units up, then rotated −90° (clockwise)" seems like a possibility.
- The other options can be ruled out according to the logical conclusions drawn about the transformations and the requirement for congruency.
Thus, the best choice appears to be: "ABCD was first shifted 3 units to the left and 5 units up, then rotated −90° (clockwise)."
