4. Congruence and Transformations
Sign In
Begin with a rotation.
Example Solution: 180∘ rotation about the origin, followed by a translation 5 units left and 1 unit down
The triangles have different orientations and locations. In △ABC, the vertex C is to the right of A and B. In △EFG, the corresponding vertex G, is to the left of E and F. To line up their orientations, we can rotate △ABC 180∘ about the origin.
Now, by translating △A′B′C′ down by 1 unit and left by 5 units, we can map it onto △EFG.
