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!)
