Question

Which sentence explains why polygon ABCDEFGH is congruent to polygon MNOPQRST?

A.
A sequence of translations will map MNOPQRST onto ABCDEFGH.
B.
A sequence of rigid transformations will map MNOPQRST onto ABCDEFGH.
C.
A sequence of rotations will map MNOPQRST onto ABCDEFGH.
D.
A sequence of reflections will map MNOPQRST onto ABCDEFGH.

Answer 1

correct option if Option D

Answer 2

The answer is B.

Explanation:

It can't be A, C, or, D because if the polygons were in a certain position, those transformations wouldn't work.

The definition of a rigid transformation is either a translation, rotation, or reflection. Therefore it must be B.

Sorry about how vague this is. It's hard to explain this without diagrams.
