02.03)Which statement is true about the result of a rigid transformation? The pre-image will be congruent to the image. The image will be larger than the pre-image. The pre-image will be larger than the image. Each one is unique; no general statement can be made about size.

gold medals !!!!!

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

A rigid transformation preserves distances between points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's not a awnser choice @UnkleRhaukus

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what is the definition of congruence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two line segments are congruent if they have the same length. But they need not lie at the same angle or position on the plane@unklerhaukus

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

right, but a more general definition might be two images are congruent, iff they are the same shape and the same size

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

If we have an image that has been rigidly transformed, the distances between all points will stay the same, . . .

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

is it possible that all distances between all pairs of points stay the same, and that the shape or size of the image could possibly be distorted in any way ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes @UnkleRhaukus

how?
