b. If ABC is an equilateral triangle, what can you say about XYZ ? Explain your
reasoning.
XYZ is also equilateral. All the corresponding side lengths of ABC would be
preserved through the reflection of the triangle, so by SSS congruence the triangles are
congruent.
c. Identify the single transformation to map ABC onto XYZ ? 180 rotation

a. Draw the
image of WXYZ under a size transformation with center C and
magnitude 2. Label the image
.
Use the properties of size transformation to explain why
WXYZ.
The parallelograms would be similar because through size transformations the corresponding
angle measure are preserved, and the side lengths all have the same scale factor of 2.
