1. The problem states that $r(180^\circ, O)(\triangle ABC) = \triangle A'B'C'$, meaning $\triangle ABC$ is rotated 180 degrees about the origin $O$ to get $\triangle A'B'C'$. We need to find a composition of a rotation and a translation that results in the same image $\triangle A'B'C'$.
2. First, let's verify the effect of a 180° rotation about $O$ on the vertices of $\triangle ABC$:
- $A(4,4)$ rotated 180° about $O$ becomes $A'(-4,-4)$.
- $B(6,6)$ rotated 180° about $O$ becomes $B'(-6,-6)$.
- $C(6,2)$ rotated 180° about $O$ becomes $C'(-6,-2)$.
3. However, the given $\triangle A'B'C'$ vertices are approximately $A'(-4,-4)$, $B'(-6,-2)$, and $C'(-2,-4)$, which do not match the direct 180° rotation about $O$ exactly. This suggests a translation is involved after a rotation.
4. Let's analyze each answer choice:
A. Rotate $\triangle ABC$ 180° about point $C(6,2)$, then translate 4 units down and 8 units left.
- Rotating 180° about $C$ sends $A(4,4)$ to $A'' = 2\times C - A = (6,2)\times 2 - (4,4) = (12,4) - (4,4) = (8,0)$.
- Then translating 4 down and 8 left: $A''' = (8-8,0-4) = (0,-4)$, which does not match $A'(-4,-4)$.
B. Rotate $\triangle ABC$ 90° about $O$, then translate 6 units down and 2 units left.
- 90° rotation about $O$ sends $A(4,4)$ to $A''(-4,4)$.
- Translate 6 down and 2 left: $A''' = (-4-2,4-6) = (-6,-2)$, which does not match $A'(-4,-4)$.
C. Rotate $\triangle ABC$ 270° about $O$, then translate 2 units up and 6 units left.
- 270° rotation about $O$ sends $A(4,4)$ to $A''(4,-4)$.
- Translate 2 up and 6 left: $A''' = (4-6,-4+2) = (-2,-2)$, which does not match $A'(-4,-4)$.
D. Rotate $\triangle ABC$ 90° about point $C(6,2)$, then translate 4 units down and 8 units left.
- Rotate 90° about $C$:
For $A(4,4)$, vector $\overrightarrow{CA} = (4-6,4-2) = (-2,2)$.
Rotate 90° counterclockwise: $(-2,2) \to (-2,-2)$.
New $A'' = C + (-2,-2) = (6-2,2-2) = (4,0)$.
- Translate 4 down and 8 left: $A''' = (4-8,0-4) = (-4,-4)$, which matches $A'$.
- Check $B(6,6)$:
$\overrightarrow{CB} = (6-6,6-2) = (0,4)$.
Rotate 90° CCW: $(0,4) \to (-4,0)$.
$B'' = (6-4,2+0) = (2,2)$.
Translate: $(2-8,2-4) = (-6,-2)$ matches $B'$.
- Check $C(6,2)$:
Rotating about itself leaves $C$ unchanged.
Translate: $(6-8,2-4) = (-2,-2)$ but $C'$ is $(-2,-4)$, so slight discrepancy in $y$.
Given the options, D is the closest and matches two points exactly and the problem likely expects this answer.
Final answer: D. Rotate $\triangle ABC$ 90° about point $C$, then translate 4 units down and 8 units left.
