Question

1. describe a sequence of transformations that takes trapezoid a to trapezoid b.

Explanation:

Step1: Check orientation change

Observe that trapezoid A needs to be rotated to match the orientation of trapezoid B. Assume a rotation of 90 - degrees counter - clockwise about a point (for example, the origin if in a coordinate plane).

Step2: Check position change

After rotation, trapezoid A may need to be translated (moved) to the exact position of trapezoid B. Determine the horizontal and vertical displacements required to align the rotated trapezoid A with trapezoid B.

Answer:

A 90 - degree counter - clockwise rotation followed by a translation.
