Problem:
Use the diagram below to answer the following question.
Will a single transformation move square PQRS onto square WXYZ?
Explain your answer.[1]
Answer:
No, a single transformation will not move one square onto the other.
To move one square onto the other requires one of the following:
1. reflecting square PQRS over the line, then rotating it
2. rotating square PQRS, then translating it
