Question 3 • Geometry

Triangle CDE is translated down and to the right, forming triangle cap c prime cap d prime cap e prime Which congruency statement is correct?

Answer
A
triangle DCE is congruent to triangle cap d prime cap e prime cap c prime
B
triangle EDC is congruent to triangle cap c prime cap e prime cap d prime
C
triangle EDC is congruent to triangle cap c prime cap d prime cap e prime
D
triangle DCE is congruent to triangle cap d prime cap c prime cap e prime

Explanation

A translation preserves the triangle’s size and shape, and each original vertex corresponds to the same letter with a prime: C to C′, D to D′, and E to E′. So the order D-C-E matches D′-C′-E′. Choice A, triangle DCE congruent to triangle D′C′E′, gives the correct correspondence.
