Answer: The answer is (D) Reflection across the line y = -x.
Step-by-step explanation: In figure given in the question, we can see two triangles, ΔABC and ΔA'B'C' where the second triangle is the result of transformation from the first one.
(A) If we rotate ΔABC 180° counterclockwise about the origin, then the image will coincide with ΔA'B'C'. So, this transformation can take place here.
(B) If we reflect ΔABC across the origin, then also the image will coincide with ΔA'B'C' and so this transformation can also take place.
(C) If we rotate ΔABC through 180° clockwise about the origin, the we will see the image will be same as ΔA'B'C'. Hence, this transformation can also take place.
(D) Finally, if we reflect ΔABC across the line y = -x, the the image formed will be different from ΔA'B'C', in fact, it is ΔA'D'E', as shown in the attached figure. So, this transformation can not take place here.
Thus, the correct option is (D).
Answer:
In isosceles triangle ABC, BM is the median to the base AC and Point D is on BM as shown below in the figure;
Median of a triangle states that a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposing side, bisecting it
M is the median of AC
then by definition;
AM = MC ......[1]
In ΔAMD and ΔDMC
AM = MC [side] [By [1]]
[Angle]
DM =DM [Common side]
Side-Angle-Side postulate(SAS) states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
Then, by SAS,
CPCT stands for Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent
By CPCT,
[Corresponding side] ......[2]
In ΔABD and ΔCBD
AB = BC [Side] [By definition of isosceles triangle]
BD= BD [common side]
AD = DC [Side] [by [2]]
Side-Side-Side(SSS) postulate states that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
Therefore, by SSS theorem,
