How could you show that Quadrilateral ABCD is congruent to Quadrilateral A'B'C'D'?

• I would demonstrate how this is a rigid transformation by reflecting the figure over the y-axis and then translating it down 1 unit.

• I would demonstrate how this is a rigid transformation by rotating the figure counter clockwise about the origin and then translating it right 5 and up 4.

• I would demonstrate how this is a rigid transformation by reflecting over the x axis and then over the y axis.

• I would demonstrate how this is a rigid transformation by translating it 6 units right, then 1 unit down

How could you show that quadrilateral ABCD is congruent to quadrilateral A'B'C'D'?

• I would demonstrate how this is a rigid transformation by translating my figure 7 right and down 2.

• I would demonstrate how this is a rigid transformation by rotating the figure 90° clockwise about the origin, and then translating 3 to the right.

• I would demonstrate how this is a rigid transformation by reflecting over the x axis and then translating to the right 5 units.

• I would demonstrate how this is a rigid transformation by rotating my figure 180° about the origin.
