@tHe_FiZiCx99 Can you help me describe a series of transformations?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Just look at the shape of the two triangles. Forget the positions for now. If you wanted to change the look of triangle XYZ into triangle X'Y'Z', what would you do? If triangle XYZ were made of cardboard, and you could lift it off the paper (r off the screen), could you do something to it to make it look like triangle X'Y'Z'?

Are you there?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

I would rotate it

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No matter how much you rotate the original, it will not end up like the transformed one. If you had the original made of paper, and you could pick it up, you'd have to flip it over. That is exactly what a reflection does. The two steps in this transformation are a rotation and a translation.
