\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. (Or we could do a different more complicated sequence of transformations....)

\n" ); document.write( "I will do a horizontal flip (about the y axis) and then a translation.

\n" ); document.write( "(1) Reflect about the y axis:

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "From the diagram we can see that the two figures are congruent, and that the second transformation is a translation 1 unit right and 1 unit down.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWERS:
\n" ); document.write( "The two figures are congruent.
\n" ); document.write( "One sequence of transformation that gets from ABCD to EFGH is (1) reflect about the y axis and (2) translate right 1, down 1

\n" ); document.write( "
