does an isometry preserve congruence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true isometry is an exact transformation of a shape. which means that it is congruent to the object. isometries preserve length

OpenStudy (yuki):

yes, that is basically the definition of an isometry

OpenStudy (yuki):

it has to do two things 1), preserves length 2), preserves angles

OpenStudy (yuki):

so once a figure goes through an isometry, 1), the size does not change 2), the shape does not change so they are still congruent figures
