Question

3.Use rigid motions to explain whether the triangles in the figure are congruent. Be sure to describe specific rigid motions in your explanation.

Answer 1

Triangle DPW was translated 1 unit to the left, then it was translated 5 units down and then it was rotated by 90 degrees counterclockwise.

Answer 2

From the given figure, it can be seen that triangle JMS was formed from triangle DPW by performing the following transformations.

Triangle DPW was shifted 1 unit to the left, then it was shifted 5 units down and then it was rotated by 90 degrees to the left.
