Question

a rigid transformation is applied to figure a to produce figure b. which of the following is true? a. the two figure are congruent because figure b is a reflection of figure a. b. the two figures are not congruent. c. the two figures are congruent because figure b is a rotation of figure a. d. the two figures are congruent because figure b is a translation of figure a.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rigid - transformation property

Rigid transformations (translations, rotations, reflections) preserve shape and size.

Step2: Analyze the figure

The orientation of figure A has changed to get figure B. It is a rotation about point C. Since rigid - transformations result in congruent figures.

Answer:

C. The two figures are congruent because Figure B is a rotation of Figure A.
