Front

What is a congruent shape?

Back

Two shapes are congruent if they have the same size and shape, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is a rigid motion in geometry?

Back

A rigid motion is a transformation that preserves distance and angle measures, such as translations, rotations, and reflections.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on two parallel lines cut by a transversal. They are equal in measure.

Front

What is a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles consists of two adjacent angles whose non-common sides form a straight line. They are supplementary, meaning their measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

How do you determine if two shapes are congruent after transformations?

Back

To determine if two shapes are congruent after transformations, check if there is a rigid motion that maps one shape onto the other without changing its size or shape.

Front

What does it mean for angles to be supplementary?

Back

Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

Front

What is the formula for the measure of an angle in terms of a variable?

Back

Front

What is the significance of angle measures in triangles?

Back

The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

Front

What is a dilation in geometry?

Back

A dilation is a transformation that alters the size of a shape but not its shape, typically defined by a scale factor.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding angles and parallel lines?

Back

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are congruent.
