Question

a paper company uses the watermark shown on its paper. what transformations could be used to create the watermark if figure a is the pre - image and figure b is the image? are the two figures congruent? choose the correct answer.
o two translations
a reflection followed by a translation
a rotation followed by a dilation
a reflection followed by a dilation

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the orientation change

Figure A and Figure B have opposite orientations. A reflection can change the orientation of a figure.

Step2: Analyze the position change

After reflection, the position of the figure has also changed. A translation can move the figure to a new position.

Step3: Analyze congruence

Since there is no change in size (no dilation as dilation changes size), and the figures are congruent. A reflection - translation combination can create the watermark.

Answer:

a reflection followed by a translation
