Algebra.Com's Answer #838164 by greenestamps(13203) You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "The other tutor didn't draw either figure correctly.... \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The two figures appear to be congruent. Showing that in fact they are algebraically can be done by seeing how the change from A to B compares to the change from E to F,and so on. That is an easy task; I won't take the time to do that in my response. \n" ); document.write( "The transformations to get EFGH from ABCD are, in either order, a translation and a horizontal flip.
