B. A ladder leans against a wall, forming a right triangle. If the top of the ladder slides down a little from its original resting place, is the new triangle congruent to the one before? A. Yes, because the ladder was translated B. Yes, because the ladder was rotated C. No, because the angle formed by the ladder changed D. No, because the length of the ladder changed
