Question

use the drop - down menus below to state the sequence of transformations that maps figure m onto figure n in the animation below. then use those transformations to determine: are the two figures congruent? use the drop - down menus to explain why or why not.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
a followed by a.
the two figures congruent because are used to map figure m onto figure n.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the transformation from Figure M to Figure N

First, observe the position change. Figure M is translated (moved) vertically. Then, it is reflected (flipped) over a line.

Step2: Determine congruence

Congruent figures have the same shape and size. Transformations like translation and reflection do not change the shape and size of a figure.

Answer:

A translation followed by a reflection.
The two figures are congruent because rigid - transformations (translation and reflection) are used to map Figure M onto Figure N.
