Question

Triangle ABC is rotated 90 degrees clockwise and then reflected over the y-axis to produce A'B'C'. Describe the relationship between the pre-image and the image.

A) Similar
B) Congruent

Answer 1

Answer: A) Similar

Explanation:

You are rotating the triangle 90 degrees then reflecting it over the y-axis.

Reflecting it will still cause that 90 degrees to be there and as such it couldn't be congruent since congruent = same.

So they are similar in shape but not identical.
