The two triangles created by the diagonal of the parallelogram are congruent. Recall that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. Which transformation(s) could map one triangle to the other?

Rotation and Translation

The triangles are congruent by the SSS congruence theorem. Which transformation(s) can map ΔLMN onto ΔL'M'N'?

Rotation then Translation

The four-sided geometric figure pictured is called a parallelogram. One feature of parallelograms is that opposite sides have equal lengths. The dotted line splits the parallelogram into two triangles. What is true about the congruency of the two triangles?

The triangles can be proven congruent using SSS.
