Triangle ABC undergoes a series of transformations to result in triangle DEF.

Is triangle DEF congruent to triangle ABC ?

Is it Congruent or Not congruent?

1.)) Triangle ABC is translated 3 units up and 5 units right, and then dilated by a scale factor of 4 to form triangle DEF.
(congruent or NOT congruent)

2.)) Triangle ABC is reflected over the x-axis, and then translated 6 units down and 6 units left to form triangle DEF.
(congruent or NOT congruent)

3.)) Triangle ABC is rotated 180°, and then reflected over the line y=x to form triangle DEF.
(congruent or NOT congruent)

I personally think the first 2 are congruent, and the 3rd is not, but I am not completely sure.

1. Congruent means same size same shape...
Is 1) still the same SIZE when you do a dilation of scale factor 4...

2. I don't think it stays the same size.

3. I'm not sure about these, they are kind of hard for me to understand. But I think the size wouldn't stay the same.

5. #2 is correct : )
#3... the shape is changed if a dilation is done. A slide, flip or turn does not change the shape (just the orientation of the object).
So what do you think about 3?

6. Thanks! :)

And yes for 3, I think it's congruent. If the shape stays the same and does not change.

3. ### Trigonometry/Geometry

In most geometry courses, we learn that there's no such thing as "SSA Congruence". That is, if we have triangles ABC and DEF such that AB = DE, BC = EF, and angle A = angle D, then we cannot deduce that ABC and DEF are congruent.
