Question

50 POINTS! Which statement best explains whether △ABC is congruent to △DEF?

Answer 1

Option B makes the most sense, because if you follow the steps, they fit perfectly into each other!

Answer 2

Answer:

The second choice is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflecting ABC across the y-axis will negate the x-coordinates, which will place it directly above triangle DEF.  Counting down from A to D, B to E and C to F, we see that each is 5 units above the image; this means a translation 5 units down will finish mapping the pre-image to the image.  Since they are mapped on top of each other, they are congruent.
