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

Do you remember what we talked about rotating 180 degrees? well, if it rotates 180 degrees and like flips sign and all that... they're congruent So, can you tell me if these triangles are congruent looking at rotations

Florisalreadytaken:

how is this rotated 180 dgr?

Isolation:

oops xd

Adigirl29:

they dont look congruent to me

Florisalreadytaken:

to do that using transformation, we would need a protractor, which... yeah we cant do that and yes! they are congruent

Florisalreadytaken:

we can just count the number of squares the lines pass through, and the form they have

Adigirl29:

so that's the answer then?

read his explanation.... he wrote the answer out for you

Florisalreadytaken:

yes, they are!

Adigirl29:

how's this for the answer, good enough?

Adigirl29:

Yes they are congruent we can count the number of squares the lines pass through, and the form they have, when drawing the lines i can see they are exactly the same as the original figure making them congruent.

Isolation:

no

Adigirl29:

oof

Isolation:

Because if you're only comparing that they're equal measurements, what if 2 sides, that aren't corresponding sides are named as equal you have to add that you first found the corresponding sides, and then compared those sides with each other

Adigirl29:

ohhh okay okay let me add that

Adigirl29:

okay how about now

Adigirl29:

Yes they are congruent we can count the number of squares the lines pass through, and the form they have, i first found the sides that were given and compared them with each other,those sides came out equal. When drawing the lines i can see they are exactly the same as the original figure making them congruent.

Adigirl29:

is it still wrong?

Isolation:

that just.... doesn't make sense..... lol....

Adigirl29:

oh boi TwT

Isolation:

You first find the corresponding sides. You then count or whatever. Then compare. Then get a result

Adigirl29:

alright ima delete everything and rewrite it again

Adigirl29:

alright lets try thus again cus I suck at explaining things ig two how about now

Adigirl29:

Yes they are congruent, I first find the corresponding sides and counted them, then i compare them with each other to make sure they are both equal, thus giving me my answer.

Isolation:

Yea

Adigirl29:

yay TwT that was the last question thank you guys so much for helping me
