Which of these triangle pairs can be mapped to each other using a reflection and a translation?

A
Triangles L R K and A R Q are connected at point R. Triangle L R K is reflected across point R to form triangle A R Q.
Option A
B
Triangles L P K and Q R A are shown. Triangle L P K is reflected across a line to form triangle Q R A. Triangle Q R A is shifted to the right of triangle L P K.
Option B
C
Triangles L P K and Q R A are shown. Triangle L P K is shifted down and to the left to form triangle Q R A.
Option C
D
Triangles L P K and Q R A are shown. Triangle L P K is rotated to form triangle Q R A. Triangle Q R A is also shifted to the right.
Option D
3

Triangles J K L and M N Q are shown. Triangle J K L is rotated slightly about point L to form triangle M N Q.

Question illustration
A
a reflection across the line containing LK
B
a reflection across the line containing JK
C
a rotation about point L
D
a rotation about point K

Which statements are true about additional information for proving that the triangles are congruent? Select two options.

A
If A ≅ T, then the triangles would be congruent by ASA.
Option A
B
If B ≅ P, then the triangles would be congruent by AAS.
Option B
C
If all the angles are acute, then the triangles would be congruent.
D
If C and Q are right angles, then triangles would be congruent.
Option D
E
If BC ≅ PQ, then the triangles would be congruent by ASA.
6

Triangles Q R S and T U V are shown. Triangle Q R S is translated across S Q and then is shifted down and to the right to form triangle T U V.

Question illustration
A
No, the triangles are not congruent.
B
Yes, a translation mapping vertex Q to vertex T and a reflection across the line containing QS will map △QRS to △TUV.
C
No, the triangles are obtuse.
D
Yes, a translation mapping vertex S to vertex T and a reflection across the line containing RS will map △QRS to △TUV.
