Question

pre-algebra ic sem 2 fall 2025
congruence and transformations
square abcd is shown with four congruent images
such that abcd ≅ fghi ≅ jklm ≅ nopq ≅ rstu.
for which square is a reflection necessary to produce the
transformed figure?
jklm
rstu
fghi
nopq

Explanation:

Step1: Understand reflection

Reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line.

Step2: Analyze each square

• For \(JKLM\): It is a translation (slide) of \(ABCD\) (no flip).
• For \(RSTU\): It is a reflection of \(ABCD\) over the \(y\) - axis (flip).
• For \(FGHI\): It is a translation (slide) of \(ABCD\) (no flip).
• For \(NOPQ\): It is a translation (slide) of \(ABCD\) (no flip).

Answer:

\(RSTU\)
