Question

Two rigid transformations are used to map ABC to QRS. The first is a translation of vertex B to vertex R. What is the second transformation?

Answer 1

Solution: A Δ ABC  has gone through two transformations to get Δ QRS.

1. First it is given that Vertex B is translated to Vertex R. If B is translated by translating coordinates to get R , then A and C have been translated through  same amount to get Q and S.

2.  As Transformation is of four types: 1. Rotation 2. Translation 3. Reflection and 4. Dilation

As any of the four can happen because it is not given that  ΔABC is congruent or Similar to ΔQRS, while in first three cases ΔABC≅ΔQRS.
