Math Problem Statement

help and give the correct answers.

Determine if Figures A and B, and Figures C and D are congruent and identify the transformations needed to map one figure onto another.

Solution

Let's go through each question in the image and find the correct answers:

Left Panel (Figures A and B)

  1. Are Figure A and Figure B congruent?

    • Answer: Yes, because Figure B appears to be the same shape and size as Figure A; it is just oriented differently on the graph.
  2. Which transformation will map Figure A onto Figure B exactly?

    • By observing the graph, it seems that Figure B can be obtained by reflecting Figure A over the yy-axis.
    • Answer: Reflect Figure A over the yy-axis.

Right Panel (Figures C and D)

  1. Are Figure C and Figure D congruent?

    • Answer: Yes, because Figures C and D have the same shape and size, though they are in different locations.
  2. Which transformation will map Figure C onto Figure D exactly?

    • Observing the position of Figure D relative to Figure C, we can see that it’s shifted down by 5 units.
    • Answer: Translate Figure C down 5 units.

Summary of Answers

  • Left Panel:

    • Are Figure A and Figure B congruent? Yes
    • Transformation: Reflect Figure A over the yy-axis
  • Right Panel:

    • Are Figure C and Figure D congruent? Yes
    • Transformation: Translate Figure C down 5 units
