Triangle DOG is transformed using a reflection. Which could be coordinates of D'O'G' after the reflection? A. D=(0,0), O=(-1,-2), G=(1,4) B. D=(0,0), O=(-1,-2), G=(1,-4) C. D=(0,0), O=(-2, 1), G=(-1, -4) D. D=(0,0), O=(-1,2), G=(1,4)

reflection on the x-axis or , y-axis ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y- axis :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please help!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

find out where wud O go

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

rule for reflection in y-axis :- (x, y) ---> (-x, y)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wat are the coordinates of point O before reflection ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Before reflection, (1,2) After: (-1,2)?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Awesome :) Now look at ur options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the last one?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

brilliant !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much! can you help me with another one?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yea sure :)

Whats this?^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

this is how the triangle looks after reflection :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What additional information would you need to prove that ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF by SAS? A. segment AC ≅ segment EF B. segment BC ≅ segment FE C. segment AC ≅ segment FE D. segment BC ≅ segment EF

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

this is the traingle after reflection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay thanks :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at ur options, see that none of them have angles. all of them have SEGMENTS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah I see that

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good :) now, look at the triangles. wat info we're given ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That AB and DE are congruent?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes ! and ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

also, \(\angle B \cong \angle E\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

they both have one green arc on them, indicating they're congruent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I was going to type that! ahah

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

oops! sorry about that.. still good, you have another question :- which postulate u can use to prove these triangles are congruent ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use the fact that, ur options have all Sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know what postulate means:(

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

SAS SSS ASA

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

those are the congruence postulates

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

or theorems or w.e

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since we're given Side and Angle are congruent we just need another Side to use SAS

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that side wud be :- \(\large BC \cong EF\) you tell me why

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats the answer btw..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay thank you so much, that would be the side because that is the side that is not identified as anything?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats partially correct, but ok.. i see u wil get hang of these as these after doing few more problems :) dont rush yet, you're doing great !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Line 1 - segment AB equals 2, segment FD equals 2, segment AB is congruent to segment FD Line 2 - ∠A ≅ ∠F Line 3 - Length of segment AC. A (1, 2) C (3, 3) segment AC = 2.23 Line 4 - Length of segment EF. E (3, 2) F (5, 3) Line 5- segment AC is congruent to segment FE Line 6- triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EFDby SAS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

picture for line 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

picture for line 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please help @ganeshie8 I really need to pass

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

is that the whole question ? or is there a triangle/lines pic that goes wid this question ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah here sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is line 5 but Idk

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Line 6 has a serious problem

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Line 6- triangle ABC is congruent to triangle EFDby SAS ^ ^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

first triangle started wid A second triangle started wid E

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

*look at the pic, A and E are not equal !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so line 6 is the answer?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i need to go, please close this... and ask a new question.... good luck !!
