Question
which rigid transformation would map △abc to △edc? a rotation about point b a reflection across the line containing (overline{cb}) a reflection across the line containing (overline{ac}) a rotation about point c
Step1: Analyze rotation about point B
A rotation about point B will not map △ABC to △EDC as the orientation and position - relationship of the triangles with respect to point B do not match for a rotation.
Step2: Analyze reflection across line CB
If we reflect △ABC across the line containing $\overline{CB}$, the points A and E, and D and B will not be in the correct corresponding positions.
Step3: Analyze reflection across line AC
If we reflect △ABC across the line containing $\overline{AC}$, the points and sides of the two triangles will not match up correctly.
Step4: Analyze rotation about point C
We can see that ∠ACB = ∠DCE. By rotating △ABC about point C, we can map △ABC to △EDC. The lengths of the corresponding sides are equal and the angles are congruent, and a rotation about point C will align the two triangles.
