This is the logo for the Subaru car company. "Subaru" is the Japanese name for the cluster of stars known as the Pleiades in English (part of the constellation Taurus). "Subaru" also means "united" in Japanese - this expresses the idea that five companies merged to form Fuji Heavy Industries (FRI), the parent company of Subaru. So the star logo represents both a play on words and how FRI considers itself a united cluster of companies.
Describe any congruence transformations that are visible in this logo.

Important Questions on Geometric Transformations

Describe the transformation that has been performed in the diagram and express it using correct arrow notation.

The photo shows a detail of the Serpent Bench in the Parc Guell, in Barcelona, in the Catalonia region of Spain. The bench winds around the park's perimeter and is covered in a mosaic of ceramic tiles. It was created by the artist Antoni Gaudi, who expressed his love of natural forms in his fantastical designs.
