Congruence and Rigid Motions

Investigating translations, reflections, and rotations to prove that two figures are congruent.

Key Questions

  2. 2Which properties of a shape remain unchanged after a rotation versus a reflection?
  3. 3How can we describe a sequence of transformations that maps one figure onto another?
