A stack of 60 identical books at the book store was 135 inches tall.

1 answer:

5 0

To find out the thickness of each book you would have to divide 135 inches by 60 to get 2.25 .

135 ÷ 60 = 2.25

so the answer would be A

A sequence of two transformations that can be used to show that polygon ABCDE is congruent to polygon GFJIH

Burka [1]

Two transformations that can be used to show that polygon ABCDE is congruent to polygon GFJIH : <u>rotation -90° and translation (0,2)</u>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

There are several forms of transformation, including translation, dilation, rotation or reflection

There are 2 shapes of geometry:

Similar figures:

the same shape but different in size,

Congruent figures:

the same size and the same shape

Both polygons will appear congruent if, after being transformed, the two polygons will map exactly to each other

A sequence of two transformations e can do is :

1. rotation -90°

Let point H(4,1) from polygon GFJIH , we rotate -90°
