Triangles A B C and D E F are shown. Triangle A B C is rotated to the left about point A and then is shifted up and to the right to form triangle D E F.

Question illustration
A
Translate vertex A to vertex D, and then reflect △ABC across the line containing AC.
B
Translate vertex B to vertex D, and then rotate △ABC around point B to align the sides and angles.
C
Translate vertex B to vertex D, and then reflect △ABC across the line containing AC.
D
Translate vertex A to vertex D, and then rotate △ABC around point A to align the sides and angles.

On a coordinate plane, 2 triangles are shown. The first triangle has points F (3, 2), H (4, 5), G (1, 2). The second triangle has points F prime (negative 2, 3), H prime (negative 5, 4), G prime (negative 2, 1).

Question illustration
A
Correct. He transformed the triangle according to the rule (x, y) → (–y, x).
B
Incorrect. He transformed the triangle according to the rule (x, y) → (y, –x)
C
Incorrect. He transformed the triangle according to the rule (x, y) → (–y, –x)
D
Incorrect. He transformed the triangle according to the rule (x, y) → (–x, –y)

What mistakes did he make? Select two options.

A
He applied the reflection to the pre-image first.
B
He applied the rotation to the pre-image first.
C
He changed the size of the figure instead of just applying a rotation.
D
He used point P as the center of rotation.
E
He used an incorrect angle of rotation around point P.

Triangles A B C and N M Q are shown. Sides B C and N M are congruent. Angles A B C and Q N M are congruent. Angles B C A and N M Q are both right angles.

Question illustration
A
A ≅ Q because of the third angle theorem.
Option A
B
AB ≅ QN because they are both opposite a right angle.
C
BC ≅ NM because it is given.
D
C ≅ M because right angles are congruent.
Option D

On a coordinate plane, 2 triangles are shown. Triangle A B C has points (negative 1, negative 1), (2, negative 1), and (negative 1, negative 5). Triangle R S T has points (1, 1), (1, 5), and (4, 1).

Question illustration
A
The figures are congruent. ΔRST can be mapped to ΔACB by a reflection over the x-axis and a translation 2 units to the left.
B
The figures are congruent. ΔRST can be mapped to ΔACB by a reflection over the y-axis and a translation 2 units down.
C
The figures are not congruent. Point R corresponds to point A, but S corresponds to B and T corresponds to C.
D
The figures are not congruent. Point R does not correspond with point A.
