the triangles are congruent by the sss congruence theorem. which transformation(s) can map △bcd onto △wxy? rotation only reflection only translation, then rotation translation, then reflection
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Analyze triangle orientation
The orientation of $\triangle BCD$ and $\triangle WXY$ is different. A single - rotation or a single - translation cannot map one onto the other.
Step2: Consider transformation sequence
A translation first moves $\triangle BCD$ to the general position of $\triangle WXY$. Then a reflection can correct the orientation to map $\triangle BCD$ onto $\triangle WXY$.
Answer:
translation, then reflection
