Rigid Transformations

There are 3 rigid transformations: Reflection, Rotation, Translation

​

After the rigid transformations, the OG shape and Image are the same shape, size, same everything.

​

We say the two shapes are CONGRUENT​

​

First, Some Vocabulary...

Congruence -In geometry, congruent means identical in shape and size. The figures will have the same side lengths and same angles​

​

Let's test your understanding of the word congruent!​

​

​

Multiple Choice

Are these figures Congruent or not congruent?

• Congruent

• Not Congruent

Multiple Choice

Are these figures congruent or not congruent?

• Congruent

• Not Congruent

Multiple Choice

Are these figures congruent or not congruent?

• Congruent

• Not Congruent

Multiple Choice

Are these figures congruent or not congruent?

• Congruent

• Not Congruent

Multiple Choice

If Triangle ABC is the original, what transformation occurred to give you triangle DEF?

• Translation

• Rotation

• Reflection

Properties of Congruent Figures​

Ways to show congruence...

2) Draw tick marks on sides and angles to state congruence!

​1) Look at the sides/angles and see which sides/angles match

Congruent Vertices & Order

This tells us

​

Side A̅B̅ ≅ Side ̅E̅F̅

Side AB is congruent to Side EF

Side AB corresponds to Side EF​

​

​

​(Make sure that your corners match. Order of

vertices (corners) matter!)​

Once we determine the triangles are congruent...

We write a congruence statement to say

two shapes are congruent

​

Δ​ABC ≅ ∆FEG

​*Triangle ABC is congruent to Triangle FEG*

​

​

(Make sure your vertices (corners) match when writing you​r congruence statement!)

​

Fill in the Blanks

Side AB from the triangle on the left is congruent to Side

on the second triangle.

(Make sure your corner match)

Fill in the Blanks

Side AC from the triangle on the left is congruent to Side

on the second triangle.

(Make sure your corners match)

Fill in the Blanks

Side BC from the triangle on the left is congruent to Side

on the second triangle.

(Make sure your corners match)
