Question

50 POINTS!

Which statement best explains whether △ABC is congruent to △DEF?

Answer 1

Option B makes the most sense, because if you follow the steps, they fit perfectly into each other!

Answer 2

The second choice is correct.

Explanation:

Reflecting ABC across the y-axis will negate the x-coordinates, which will place it directly above triangle DEF. Counting down from A to D, B to E and C to F, we see that each is 5 units above the image; this means a translation 5 units down will finish mapping the pre-image to the image. Since they are mapped on top of each other, they are congruent.
