Two rigid transformations are used to map triangle cap A cap b cap c to triangle cap q cap r cap s The first is a translation of vertex cap b to vertex cap r What is the second transformation?

A
a reflection across the line containing line segment cap A cap b
B
a reflection across the line containing line segment cap c cap b
C
a rotation about point cap b
D
a rotation about point cap c
3

Is triangle cap m cap n cap l is congruent to triangle cap q cap n cap l ? Why or why not?

A
Yes, they are both right triangles.
B
Yes, they are congruent by either ASA or AAS.
C
No, there are no congruent sides.
D
No, angle cap m is not congruent to angle cap n cap l cap q .
4

Is there a series of rigid transformations that could map triangle QRS to triangle ABC ? If so, which transformations could be used?

A
Yes, triangle QRS can be translated so that cap r is mapped to cap b and then rotated so that cap s is mapped to cap c .
B
No, triangle QRS and triangle ABC are not congruent.
C
Yes, triangle QRS can be translated so that cap q is mapped to cap A and then reflected across the line containing line segment QS .
D
No, triangle QRS and triangle ABC are congruent but triangle QRS cannot be mapped to triangle ABC using a series rigid transformations.

Which relationship in the diagram is true?

A
triangle MNR is congruent to triangle MNS by ASA
B
triangle SNQ is congruent to triangle SNM by SSS
C
triangle QNR is congruent to triangle MNR by HL
D
triangle RMS is congruent to triangle RQS by AAS
8

Could triangle JKL be congruent to triangle XYZ ? Explain.

A
Yes, if line segment JL is congruent to line segment XZ .
B
No, because the leg of one triangle is equal in length to the leg of the other triangle.
C
Yes, if XZ is equal to 10 .
D
No, because the hypotenuse of one triangle is equal in length to the leg of the other triangle.

B
Translate cap k to cap n and reflect across the line containing line segment HJ .
C
Translate cap k to cap l and reflect across the line containing line segment HJ .
D
Translate cap h to cap l and reflect across the line containing line segment JK .

In the diagram, angle cap j is congruent to angle cap m and line segment JL is congruent to line segment MR What additional information is needed to show triangle JKL is congruent to triangle MNR by SAS?

A
angle liters is congruent to angle cap r
B
line segment KL is congruent to line segment NR
C
angle cap k is congruent to angle cap n
D
line segment JK is congruent to line segment MN

Which pair of triangles can be proven congruent by SAS?

A
Image with description 2 congruent triangles have a common altitude, congruent angles at the vertex, and congruent base angles at the altitude.
B
Image with description 2 triangles have congruent bases, congruent side lengths, and congruent angles that are not included between two congruent sides.
C
Image with description 2 triangles have a common side, 2 congruent bases, and 2 congruent altitudes.
D
Image with description A triangle has no labels. A perpendicular bisector is drawn from the vertex to the opposite base and divides the base into 2 equal halves, so 2 identical triangles are formed.

In triangle XYZ , m angle cap x is equal to 90 degrees and m angle cap y is equal to 30 degrees In triangle TUV , m angle cap u is equal to 30 degrees and m angle cap v is equal to 60 degrees Which is true about the two triangles?

A
No congruency statement can be made because only two angles in each triangle are known.
B
No congruency statement can be made because the side lengths are unknown.
C
triangle XYZ is congruent to triangle VUT
D
triangle XYZ is congruent to triangle TUV
