What two transformations are shown to demonstrate that the triangles are congruent?

(1 point)
rotation of degrees counterclockwise and translation of ().

1 answer

To determine the specific transformations that can demonstrate the congruence of two triangles, you would typically use a combination of rotation, translation, or reflection. Since you haven't provided specific values or orientations for the triangles, I can guide you on how you would generally express these transformations:

  1. Rotation: This is typically represented by a degree measurement (e.g., 90 degrees, 180 degrees, etc.) and a direction (for instance, "counterclockwise"). For example, if you rotate triangle A 90 degrees counterclockwise about a certain point, you would denote that as a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise.

  2. Translation: This is usually expressed as a vector indicating how far to move the triangle in the coordinate plane. For example, you might translate by (x, y), where x is the horizontal change and y is the vertical change.

If you provide the specific triangles or their coordinates, I could help you formulate exact transformations. However, as a general format, you would state your answer like this:

  • Rotation of \(x\) degrees counterclockwise
  • Translation of \((a, b)\)

Fill in \(x\), \(a\), and \(b\) based on the details of your specific triangles.
