Are figures A and B congruent? Explain how you know.
Are figures A and B congruent? Explain how you know.
Yes, figures A and B are congruent if they have the same shape and size, which can be confirmed through corresponding sides and angles being equal.
What transformation can take figure A to figure B?
What transformation can take figure A to figure B?
A rotation, translation, or reflection can transform figure A to figure B, depending on their positions.
If angle A on the figure on the left is 60 degrees, what is the measurement of angle A’ on the figure on the right?
If angle A on the figure on the left is 60 degrees, what is the measurement of angle A’ on the figure on the right?
Angle A’ on the figure on the right is also 60 degrees since congruent figures have equal corresponding angles.

Study Notes
Congruent Shapes
- Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size.
- Corresponding sides and angles of congruent figures are equal.
Transformations
- A transformation is a change in the position or size of a figure.
- Common transformations include:
- Translation: Moving a figure to a new location without changing its size or shape.
- Rotation: Turning a figure around a point.
- Reflection: Flipping a figure over a line.
- Dilation: Enlarging or shrinking a figure.
Angle Measurement
- Corresponding angles in congruent figures are equal.
- If angle A on one figure is 60 degrees, then the corresponding angle A' on the congruent figure will also be 60 degrees.
