Math Problem Statement

Determine a series of transformations that would map Figure E onto Figure F.

Solution

To map Figure E onto Figure F, we can break down the transformations step by step based on the image provided. Let's analyze the positioning of both figures.

  1. Rotation:

    • Notice that Figure F appears to be a rotated version of Figure E. If you rotate Figure E by 180 degrees around the origin (0,0), it would closely align with the orientation of Figure F.
  2. Translation:

    • After rotating Figure E, the resulting figure is still not in the exact position as Figure F. We can apply a translation. Specifically, we need to translate the figure so that it shifts to the correct position. By moving the figure 7 units to the right and 8 units up, it aligns with Figure F.

Transformation Steps:

  1. Rotate Figure E by 180° around the origin.
  2. Translate the rotated figure by 7 units right and 8 units up.

These transformations will map Figure E onto Figure F.

Tip:

When determining transformations, start by identifying if a rotation or reflection is needed, and then handle translations as a final step to match the position.
