The video tutorial explains how to determine if two figures are congruent using transformations. It covers the concept of congruence through rigid motions such as translation, rotation, and reflection. The tutorial provides examples of congruence in quadrilaterals and pentagons, demonstrating how to map one figure onto another using these transformations. The video concludes with a challenge for students to apply these concepts independently.

What is the fundamental principle for determining if two figures are congruent?

• If they are both polygons

• If they can be mapped onto each other using a sequence of rigid motions

• If they have the same color

• If they have the same area

Why is it important to be specific about the transformation used?

• To increase the figures' sizes

• To change the figures' colors

• To make the figures look nicer

• To ensure accurate mapping between figures
