IM Geometry Unit 2

Front

What is the definition of congruent figures?

Back

Congruent figures are figures that have the same shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What does it mean for corresponding parts of congruent figures to be congruent?

Back

It means that if two figures are congruent, then each side and angle of one figure is equal to the corresponding side and angle of the other figure.

Front

What is a rigid motion in geometry?

Back

A rigid motion is a transformation that preserves distance and angle measures, meaning the shape and size of the figure remain unchanged.

Front

What are the types of rigid motions?

Back

The types of rigid motions include translations, rotations, and reflections.

Front

How do you determine if two segments are congruent after a reflection?

Back

Two segments are congruent after a reflection if they are corresponding segments of congruent figures.

Front

What is the property of opposite angles in a parallelogram?

Back

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.

Front

What is the significance of having one right angle in a parallelogram?

Back

If a parallelogram has one right angle, then all angles are right angles, and the parallelogram is a rectangle.

Front

What is the process of translating a figure?

Back

Translating a figure involves moving it in a straight line from one position to another without rotating or flipping it.

Front

What is the role of the center in a rotation?

Back

The center of rotation is the fixed point around which a figure is rotated.

Front

How do you write a sequence of rigid motions?

Back

A sequence of rigid motions is written by describing the transformations in the order they are applied, including translations, rotations, and reflections.
