Question

the triangles are congruent by sss and hl. which transformation(s) can be used to map △rst onto △vwx? reflection only translation only reflection, then translation rotation, then translation

Explanation:

To map △RST onto △VWX, first, a reflection is needed to flip the orientation of △RST as the triangles are mirror - images of each other in terms of orientation. Then, a translation is required to move the reflected △RST to the exact position of △VWX. A single reflection or translation alone won't work, and rotation followed by translation won't achieve the mapping as the orientation requires reflection first.

Answer:

reflection, then translation
