Jordan was given two congruent parallelograms, ABCD and PQRS, on a coordinate plane.
He wanted to find a sequence of rigid motions that would map parallelogram ABCD onto parallelogram PQRS.
A good strategy is to match the orientation first. So, he rotated parallelogram ABCD by 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin.
