Diamond · Answer 1

translation, then reflection

Step-by-step explanation:

MN corresponds with ST. It is on the opposite side of the triangle. NP corresponds with SR, and is on the opposite side of the triangle. The same is true of the third set of corresponding sides, MP and RT.

A reflection alone with orient the triangles the correct way, but they will still not be in precisely the same position. The triangle must be shifted down, which is a translation.
