We are given two polygons, $P$ and $Q$, on a triangular grid. We need to find all sequences of transformations (translations, rotations, and reflections) that would transform polygon $P$ into polygon $Q$. The options are: A. Rotate $180^{\circ}$ around point $A$. B. Rotate $60^{\circ}$ counterclockwise around point $A$ and then reflect over the line $FA$. C. Translate so that $A$ is taken to $J$. Then reflect over line $BA$. D. Reflect over line $BA$ and then translate by directed line segment $BA$. E. Reflect over the line $BA$ and then rotate $60^{\circ}$ counterclockwise around point $A$.

1. Problem Description

We are given two polygons, PP and QQ, on a triangular grid. We need to find all sequences of transformations (translations, rotations, and reflections) that would transform polygon PP into polygon QQ. The options are:
A. Rotate 180180^{\circ} around point AA.
B. Rotate 6060^{\circ} counterclockwise around point AA and then reflect over the line FAFA.
C. Translate so that AA is taken to JJ. Then reflect over line BABA.
D. Reflect over line BABA and then translate by directed line segment BABA.
E. Reflect over the line BABA and then rotate 6060^{\circ} counterclockwise around point AA.

2. Solution Steps

A. Rotate 180180^{\circ} around point AA. This would rotate PP twice the angle between APAP and AQAQ around AA, which would not map PP onto QQ. Thus, option A is incorrect.
B. Rotate 6060^{\circ} counterclockwise around point AA and then reflect over the line FAFA. First, we rotate PP 6060^{\circ} counterclockwise around AA. Then, we reflect the resulting image over line FAFA. This sequence of transformations maps PP to QQ. Thus, option B is correct.
C. Translate so that AA is taken to JJ. Then reflect over line BABA. First, translate PP so that AA is translated to JJ. Then, we reflect the resulting image over line BABA. Since the translation vector is parallel to BABA, this would not map PP onto QQ. Thus, option C is incorrect.
D. Reflect over line BABA and then translate by directed line segment BABA. First, we reflect PP over line BABA. Then, we translate the resulting image by directed line segment BABA. This sequence of transformations maps PP to QQ. Thus, option D is correct.
E. Reflect over the line BABA and then rotate 6060^{\circ} counterclockwise around point AA. First reflect over BABA. This maps AA to AA. Rotating the result 60 degrees counterclockwise around AA takes the image closer to Q, but doesn't align it. Thus, option E is incorrect.

3. Final Answer

B. Rotate 6060^{\circ} counterclockwise around point AA and then reflect over the line FAFA.
D. Reflect over line BABA and then translate by directed line segment BABA.
