Determine if the two figures are congruent and explain your answer. If they are congruent, tell which rigid motions were used.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well it is definitely congruent for starters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And it is reflected once across the x axis and once across the y axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that it or do you need more? :) I mean it is asking for an explanation, but when it comes to basic stuff like this you don't need to do much more than count the boxes :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's asking which rigid motions are used and that's what I'm stuck on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just told you :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Reflection is a rigid motion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is more then one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you making that assumption based off of that it says rigid motion>s<?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because I mentioned 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are two reflections and it is congruent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, this a retake and this is the one I missed and I was told by my instructor there is more then one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are congruent because all the sides are equal. use the distance formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That has already been established Flash but thanks for trying to help :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then that is all you need

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No read the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is asking for 2 rigid motions and I have mentioned two but madi seems to be having trouble understanding.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@madiiharrell do you understand what I am saying?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wouldn't it be rotated 180 degrees?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah sure that would work as well :) counterclockwise

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not see how it would go over the x-axis then the y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're trying to give me based on what it looks like the answer would be but not using numbers. I've plugged in 180 degrees clockwise and it didn't work and I've tried your first answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you say around the origin? Actually it can be either clockwise or counterclockwise about the origin :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do FLVS and I am taking 9th grade Geometry and I recently did this module without using numbers in questions like this and I always got them right so that's how I do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np :) did you get it right?
