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.

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, 1), (negative 4, 1) and (negative 1, 5). Triangle L M N has points (1, negative 1), (1, negative 4), and (5, negative 1).

Question illustration
A
The figures are congruent because a 270° rotation about the origin and then a reflection over the x-axis will map ΔABC onto ΔLMN.
B
The figures are congruent because a 180 rotation about the origin and then a reflection over the x-axis will map ΔABC onto ΔLMN.
C
The figures are not congruent because point B corresponds with point N and point C corresponds with point M.
D
The figures are not congruent because there is no rigid transformation or combination of rigid transformations that will map ΔABC onto ΔLMN.
