A sequence of transformations was applied to an equilateral triangle in a coordinate plane. The transformations used were rotations, reflections, and translations. Which statement about the resulting figure is true?

A) It must be an equilateral triangle with the same side lengths as the original triangle

B) It must be an equilateral triangle, but the side lengths may differ from the original triangle

C) It May be a scalene triangle, and all the side lengths may differ from the original triangle,

D) It May be an obtuse triangle with at least one side the same length as the original triangle

A - It must be an equilateral triangle with the same side lengths as the original triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Well The Equilateral Triangle dont change at all But its position on the coordinate plane changes, So it must be still a Equilateral Triangle.

The other options are talking about how the equilateral triangle changes, But it not true only the positions on the coordinate plane changes.
