Jordan wants to prove △PQR≅△STU using a sequence of rigid motions. This is Jordan's proof. Translate △PQR to get △P'Q'R' with R'=U. Then rotate △P'Q'R' about point U to get △P''Q''R'' so that R''Q'' and UT coincide. Since translation and rotation preserve distance, R''Q''=RQ=UT, and Q''=T. Reflect △P''Q''R'' across UT to get △P'''Q'''R'''. Since reflection preserves distance, P'''R'''=PR=US, and P'''=S. A sequence of rigid motions maps △PQR onto △STU, so △PQR≅△STU. Why is Jordan's proof incorrect?
