Applying Congruency and/or Similarity to Solve Problems

• A
• C
• D

• 3 inches
• 5 inches
• 90 inches
• 4 inches

Identify the transformation from ABC to A'B'C'.

• 90^o clockwise rotation
• 90^o counter clockwise rotation
• Reflection across the y-axis
• Reflection across the x-axis

Identify the transformation.

• Reflection across y-axis
• 90 Rotation counter clockwise
• Translation 5 units left, 1 unit up.
• Translation 5 units right, 1 unit down

Are the triangles similar? Explain.

• No, because only one angle of the triangles is congruent.
• Yes, because two of the angles are congruent.
• No, because only one triangle has a right angle.
• Not enough information to determine.

If two figures are similar their angles are______.

• proportional
• congruent
• supplementary
• complementary

If two figures are similar, the corresponding sides are ______________.

• equal
• congruent
• proportional
• none of these

Are the following similar? Why or why not?

• Yes
• No, the corresponding angles are not equal.
• No, the ratios of the corresponding sides are not equal.

The pair of figures is similar. Find the missing side.

• x = 1
• x = 3
• x = 9
• x = 5

Are the following similar? Why or why not?

• Yes. All pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.
• No, the corresponding angles are not equal.
• No, the ratios of the corresponding sides are not equal.
