Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question asks what rigid transformation maps triangle to triangle .
Key points:
- Rigid transformations include reflection, rotation, and translation, as they preserve the shape and size of the figure.
- The given triangles and are congruent (as suggested by the context of the problem mentioning AAS, Angle-Angle-Side congruence), so a rigid transformation exists between them.
From the diagram:
- seems to be rotated and translated to match .
- Given this, the appropriate rigid transformation that maps to is most likely rotation.
Thus, the correct answer is:
Rotation.
Would you like further details on AAS or rigid transformations? Here are some follow-up questions:
- What is the definition of AAS (Angle-Angle-Side) congruence?
- How does a rotation transformation differ from a reflection?
- What are the properties preserved in a rigid transformation?
- Can a dilation be a rigid transformation? Why or why not?
- How do you determine the center of rotation in a geometric transformation?
Tip:
Rigid transformations (reflection, rotation, and translation) always preserve distances and angles, meaning the image is congruent to the preimage.
