Exercise 11 Page 583

Consider changing the orientation of △ LMN.

Rotation 180^(∘) about the origin

Practice makes perfect
In △ LMN, vertex M is above L and N. In △ RST the corresponding vertex, T, is below R and S. To line up their orientations, we can rotate △ LMN about the origin 180^(∘).

Therefore, the congruence transformation that maps △ LMN onto △ RST can be written as shown below. Rotation 180^(∘) about the origin
