Question

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To determine if EFGH and PQRS are congruent, we check side lengths. For $\overline{EF}$: E is at (-8,2), F at (-8,4), so length is $|4 - 2| = 2$. For $\overline{PQ}$: Q is at (2,-2), P at (4,-2), so length is $|4 - 2| = 2$. Wait, no, wait—wait, let's re - check. Wait, EFGH: E(-8,2), F(-8,4) → vertical segment, length 2. PQRS: Q(2,-2), P(4,-2) → horizontal segment, length 2? Wait, no, maybe I messed up. Wait, no, let's check the other sides. Wait, no, the last option says $\overline{EF}$ and $\overline{PQ}$ don't have the same length. Wait, no, let's calculate $\overline{EF}$: E(-8,2), F(-8,4). The distance is $\sqrt{(-8 - (-8))^{2}+(4 - 2)^{2}}=\sqrt{0 + 4}=2$. $\overline{PQ}$: Q(2,-2), P(4,-2). Distance is $\sqrt{(4 - 2)^{2}+(-2 - (-2))^{2}}=\sqrt{4+0}=2$. Wait, that's the same. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, let's check the transformation options. Wait, the last option is "No, because $\overline{EF}$ and $\overline{PQ}$ do not have the same length." But our calculation shows they have the same length. Wait, no, maybe I misread the coordinates. Let's re - list the coordinates:

EFGH:
- E: (-8, 2)
- F: (-8, 4)
- G: (-6, 5)
- H: (-5, 3)

PQRS:
- P: (4, -2)
- Q: (2, -2)
- R: (1, -4)
- S: (3, -5)

Now, $\overline{EF}$: from (-8,2) to (-8,4). The length is $4 - 2 = 2$ (vertical line).

$\overline{PQ}$: from (2,-2) to (4,-2). The length is $4 - 2 = 2$ (horizontal line). Wait, so they have the same length. Then why is the last option an option? Wait, maybe I made a mistake in the other options. Wait, the first option: rotation 180° around H and reflection over y = x. Let's see, H is (-5,3). Rotating E(-8,2) 180° around H: the formula for 180° rotation around (a,b) is (2a - x, 2b - y). So 2*(-5)-(-8)= - 10 + 8=-2; 2*3 - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4. So E would map to (-2,4). Then reflecting over y = x: (4,-2). Which is P? P is (4,-2). Let's check F(-8,4): 2*(-5)-(-8)= - 10 + 8=-2; 2*3 - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2. Then reflect over y = x: (2,-2), which is Q. G(-6,5): 2*(-5)-(-6)= - 10 + 6=-4; 2*3 - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1. Reflect over y = x: (1,-4), which is R. H(-5,3): 2*(-5)-(-5)= - 10 + 5=-5; 2*3 - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3. Reflect over y = x: (3,-5), which is S. Wait, so the first transformation works. But the last option says $\overline{EF}$ and $\overline{PQ}$ don't have the same length, but our calculation says they do. Wait, no, maybe I messed up the direction. Wait, $\overline{EF}$ is vertical (length 2), $\overline{PQ}$ is horizontal (length 2). But congruent figures can have sides transformed (rotated, reflected), so length is what matters. Wait, but the last option is incorrect. Wait, the correct answer should be the first option? But no, wait, the last option is "No, because $\overline{EF}$ and $\overline{PQ}$ do not have the same length"—but they do. Wait, I must have made a mistake. Wait, no, let's recalculate $\overline{EF}$: E(-8,2), F(-8,4). The distance is $|4 - 2| = 2$. $\overline{PQ}$: Q(2,-2), P(4,-2). Distance is $|4 - 2| = 2$. So they have the same length. So the last option is wrong. Wait, but the other options: the second option is a 90° clockwise rotation and translation. Let's check 90° clockwise rotation around origin: (x,y)→(y, -x). E(-8,2)→(2,8). Then translate left 1 (x - 1) and down 10 (y - 10): (2 - 1,8 - 10)=(1,-2), which is not R. So that's wrong. The third option: ∠H and ∠S. ∠H in EFGH: let's see the sides. EH: from (-8,2) to (-5,3), slope is (3 - 2)/(-5+8)=1/3. GH: from (-6,5) to (-5,3), slope is (3 - 5)/(-5 + 6)= - 2/1=-2. The angle at H: the product of slopes is (1/3)*(-2)= - 2/3≠ - 1, so not perpendicular. In PQRS: PQ is horizontal (slope 0), PS: from (4,-2) to (3,-5), slope is (-5 + 2)/(3 - 4)=(-3)/(-1)=3. QR: from (2,-2) to (1,-4), slope is (-4 + 2)/(1 - 2)=(-2)/(-1)=2. Wait, maybe ∠H and ∠S: ∠H in EFGH, ∠S in PQRS. Maybe they are equal. So the third option is wrong. The last option: we saw $\overline{EF}$ and $\overline{PQ}$ have length 2, so that's wrong. Wait, but the first option: rotation 180° around H and reflection over y = x. As we calculated, E maps to P, F to Q, G to R, H to S. So that works. But the options: wait, the first option says "Yes, because a rotation 180° around H followed by a reflection across the line y = x maps EFGH onto PQRS." But maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, the last option is incorrect because $\overline{EF}$ and $\overline{PQ}$ do have the same length. Wait, maybe the problem is that I misread the coordinates. Wait, E is (-8,2), F is (-8,4) → length 2. Q is (2,-2), P is (4,-2) → length 2. So the last option is wrong. So the correct answer should be the first option? But the options are:

1. Yes, because a rotation 180° around H followed by a reflection across the line y = x maps EFGH onto PQRS.

2. Yes, because a rotation 90° clockwise around the origin followed by a translation left 1 unit and down 10 units maps EFGH onto PQRS.

3. No, because ∠H and ∠S do not have the same measure.

4. No, because $\overline{EF}$ and $\overline{PQ}$ do not have the same length.

Wait, but our calculation shows $\overline{EF}$ and $\overline{PQ}$ have the same length, so option 4 is wrong. Option 3: ∠H and ∠S. Let's calculate the angles. In EFGH, at H: vectors HE and HG. HE is E - H = (-8 - (-5),2 - 3)=(-3,-1). HG is G - H = (-6 - (-5),5 - 3)=(-1,2). The dot product is (-3)*(-1)+(-1)*2 = 3 - 2 = 1. The magnitudes: |HE|=$\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{10}$, |HG|=$\sqrt{(-1)^{2}+2^{2}}=\sqrt{5}$. The cosine of ∠H is 1/($\sqrt{10}\sqrt{5}$)=1/$\sqrt{50}$=1/(5$\sqrt{2}$). In PQRS, at S: vectors SP and SR. SP is P - S = (4 - 3,-2 - (-5))=(1,3). SR is R - S = (1 - 3,-4 - (-5))=(-2,1). The dot product is (1)*(-2)+(3)*(1)= - 2 + 3 = 1. The magnitudes: |SP|=$\sqrt{1^{2}+3^{2}}=\sqrt{10}$, |SR|=$\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+1^{2}}=\sqrt{5}$. The cosine of ∠S is 1/($\sqrt{10}\sqrt{5}$)=1/$\sqrt{50}$=1/(5$\sqrt{2}$). So ∠H and ∠S have the same measure, so option 3 is wrong. Option 2: rotation 90° clockwise around origin: (x,y)→(y, -x). E(-8,2)→(2,8). Translate left 1: (1,8), down 10: (1,-2), which is not R(1,-4). So option 2 is wrong. Option 1: as we saw, rotation 180° around H: (x,y)→(2*(-5)-x,2*3 - y)=(-10 - x,6 - y). E(-8,2)→(-10+8,6 - 2)=(-2,4). Reflect over y = x: (4,-2), which is P. F(-8,4)→(-10 + 8,6 - 4)=(-2,2). Reflect over y = x: (2,-2), which is Q. G(-6,5)→(-10 + 6,6 - 5)=(-4,1). Reflect over y = x: (1,-4), which is R. H(-5,3)→(-10 + 5,6 - 3)=(-5,3). Reflect over y = x: (3,-5), which is S. So this transformation maps EFGH to PQRS, so they are congruent. But wait, the last option is wrong. Wait, maybe I made a mistake in the length of $\overline{EF}$ and $\overline{PQ}$. Wait, $\overline{EF}$ is vertical (length 2), $\overline{PQ}$ is horizontal (length 2). In congruent figures, sides can be rotated, so length is what matters, not direction. So the last option is incorrect. So the correct answer is the first option? But the options are:

1. Yes, because a rotation 180° around H followed by a reflection across the line y = x maps EFGH onto PQRS.

2. Yes, because a rotation 90° clockwise around the origin followed by a translation left 1 unit and down 10 units maps EFGH onto PQRS.

3. No, because ∠H and ∠S do not have the same measure.

4. No, because $\overline{EF}$ and $\overline{PQ}$ do not have the same length.

Wait, but according to our calculation, $\overline{EF}$ and $\overline{PQ}$ have the same length, so option 4 is wrong. The correct answer is option 1. But wait, maybe the problem is that I misread the coordinates. Wait, E is (-8,2), F is (-8,4) → length 2. Q is (2,-2), P is (4,-2) → length 2. So option 4 is incorrect. So the correct answer is the first option.

# Answer:
