Which combination of transformations can you use to show that one shape is congruent to another? @myininaya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (danjs):

congruent means they will have the same length for corresponding sides, and same angle measures

OpenStudy (danjs):

if you spin something around, that does not change anything, rotation is possible

OpenStudy (danjs):

you can move something from here to there, translation is ok to do, retains congruency

OpenStudy (danjs):

dilations will alter the lengths of things, that will not work

OpenStudy (danjs):

what about reflections?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d?

OpenStudy (danjs):

i see, they mean which option can you perform, all of the steps in order, and still maintain a congruent figure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it just rotation and refecltion

OpenStudy (danjs):

d contains a dilation, that will change the length of sides.

OpenStudy (danjs):

you can translate, rotate, and reflect.

OpenStudy (danjs):

you have the right one selected in the screenshot
