Triangles Q R S and A B C are shown. The lengths of sides Q R and A B are 16 centimeters. The lengths of sides R S and B C are 24 centimeters. Angles Q R S and A B C are right angles. Sides Q S and A C are parallel and identical to each other and there is space in between the 2 triangles.

Question illustration
A
No, ΔQRS and ΔABC are congruent but ΔQRS cannot be mapped to ΔABC using a series rigid transformations.
B
No, ΔQRS and ΔABC are not congruent.
C
Yes, ΔQRS can be translated so that R is mapped to B and then rotated so that S is mapped to C.
D
Yes, ΔQRS can be translated so that Q is mapped to A and then reflected across the line containing QS.
