Question

Triangle XYZ undergoes a single
transformation to form the image,
triangle X'Y'Z'. The image is congruent
to the original figure. Which of the
following best describes the possible
transformation that took place?
O A. a reflection only
O B. a rotation only
OC. a translation only
O D. a reflection, rotation, or a
translation

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

When something is forgoing a transformation that stays congruent, if it is rotating, it is simply turning a given amount of degrees: if it is translating, it is simply move up/down or right/left on the x and y axis; and finally, if it reflects, it is simply being inverted across either the x or y axis. None of these transformations result in changing the shape and/or size of the triangle.
