is there a series of rigid transformations that could map $\delta rst$ to $\delta xyt$? if so, which transformations could be used?

no, $\delta rst$ and $\delta xyt$ are congruent but $\delta rst$ cannot be mapped to $\delta xyt$ using a series rigid transformations.
no, $\delta rst$ and $\delta xyt$ are not congruent.
yes, $\delta rst$ can be reflected across the line containing $\overline{rt}$ and then rotated about $t$ so that $s$ is mapped to $y$.
yes, $\delta rst$ can be translated so that $s$ is mapped to $y$ and then rotated about $s$ so that $r$ is mapped to $x$.

No, $\Delta RST$ and $\Delta XYT$ are congruent but $\Delta RST$ cannot be mapped to $\Delta XYT$ using a series rigid transformations.

No, $\Delta RST$ and $\Delta XYT$ are not congruent.

Yes, $\Delta RST$ can be reflected across the line containing $\overline{RT}$ and then rotated about $T$ so that $S$ is mapped to $Y$.

Yes, $\Delta RST$ can be translated so that $S$ is mapped to $Y$ and then rotated about $S$ so that $R$ is mapped to $X$.
