3.2 Proving Figures are Congruent Using Rigid Motions Essential Question: How can you determine whether two figures are congruent?
Two plane figures are congruent if and only if one can be obtained from the other by a sequence of rigid motions (that is, by a sequence of reflections, translations, and/or rotations).
Remember, in order for 2 figures to be congruent to each other they must have the same size and shape!
Tear out pages 128-132 Example: Use the definition of congruence to decide whether the two figures are congruent. Explain your answer.
There is a reflection across the y-axis that maps CDEF to JKLM. Example: Use the definition of congruence to decide whether the two figures are congruent. Explain your answer. Since the 2 figures appear to be the same size and shape, we must look for a rigid transformation that will map one to the other. There is a reflection across the y-axis that maps CDEF to JKLM.
