Question

molly was curious if quadrilaterals abcd and efgh were congruent, so she tried to map one figure onto the other using transformations: molly concluded: \its not possible to map abcd onto efgh using a sequence of rigid transformations, so the quadrilaterals are not congruent.\ what error did molly make in her conclusion? choose 1 answer: a one more transformation - a rotation - would map abcd onto efgh. so the quadrilaterals are congruent. b one more transformation - a reflection - would map abcd onto efgh. so the quadrilaterals are congruent. c there is no error. this is a correct conclusion.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand congruent figures

Congruent figures can be mapped onto each other using rigid transformations (translations, rotations, reflections).

Step2: Analyze the transformation

Looking at the figures, after translation, a reflection is needed. A reflection is a rigid transformation.

Answer:

B. One more transformation — a reflection — would map \(ABCD\) onto \(EFGH\). So the quadrilaterals are congruent.
