1. Essential Question   How does a sequence of 4. A rectangle with an area of 25 square
translations, reflections, and rotations result in centimeters is rotated and reflected in
congruent figures? the coordinate plane. What will be the
area of the resulting image? Explain.

In 5 and 6, use the coordinate grid below.

2. Reasoning  Does a sequence of transformations y D

have to include a translation, a reflection,

makes the preimage and image not only
congruent, but identical in orientation?
Explain. MP.3
