Question

Determine if the two figures are congruent and explain your answer.

Answer 1

@Michele_Laino

Answer 2

congruent figures have same sides and same angles.

Answer 3

I think that in order to establish if such geometric shapes are congruent, we have to find a geometric transformation, which to one shape does correspond the other geometric shape

Answer 4

so what would the answer be im confused

Answer 5

I wrote idk if this is right

Answer 6

the triangles are congruent because all the side lengths are same.the side lengths are same from the diagram because each side is occupying the same number of grids.

Answer 7

here is my reasoning:
we have to make a traslation first, like below:

Answer 8

subsequently, we can make a reflection around the poit R, like below:

Answer 9

since the reflected shape is equal to the second shape, then we can conclude that both original shapes are congruent

Answer 10

so just write since the reflected shape is equal to the second shape, then we can conclude that both original shapes are congruent

Answer 11

Idk what towrite

Answer 12

please they are not triangles, they are quadrilateral. In general the concept of congruence between two geometric shape, refers to a rigid motion (or a transformation of the geometric plane) which allows us to overlap exactly the two shapes, we think they are congruent

Answer 13

shapes*

Answer 14

So, I think that it is better if you write my explanation above

Answer 15

this explanation:please they are not triangles, they are quadrilateral. In general the concept of congruence between two geometric shape, refers to a rigid motion (or a transformation of the geometric plane) which allows us to overlap exactly the two shapes, we think they are congruent

Answer 16

no, no, that is my reply.
Here is a possible answer:
"Since we can get an exactly overlapping of the two shapes, if we apply an appropriate traslation plus an appropriate reflection, then we can conclude that the two geometric shapes are congruent each to other"

Answer 17

oops.. an exact* overlapping...

Answer 18

oh ok thanks

Answer 19

can u helpmeonone morequestion

Answer 20

ok!

Answer 21

I think that first we have to make a traslation, in order to get an exact overlapping of the points T and T', like this:
