On a coordinate plane, 2 triangles are shown. Triangle A B C has points (negative 1, 1), (negative 4, 1) and (negative 1, 5). Triangle L M N has points (1, negative 1), (1, negative 4), and (5, negative 1).

Question illustration
A
The figures are congruent because a 270° rotation about the origin and then a reflection over the x-axis will map ΔABC onto ΔLMN.
B
The figures are congruent because a 180 rotation about the origin and then a reflection over the x-axis will map ΔABC onto ΔLMN.
C
The figures are not congruent because point B corresponds with point N and point C corresponds with point M.
D
The figures are not congruent because there is no rigid transformation or combination of rigid transformations that will map ΔABC onto ΔLMN.

Triangles A B C and N M Q are shown. Sides B C and N M are congruent. Angles A B C and Q N M are congruent. Angles B C A and N M Q are both right angles.

Question illustration
A
A ≅ Q because of the third angle theorem.
Option A
B
AB ≅ QN because they are both opposite a right angle.
C
BC ≅ NM because it is given.
D
C ≅ M because right angles are congruent.

On a coordinate plane, 2 triangles are shown. Triangle A B C has points (negative 1, negative 1), (2, negative 1), and (negative 1, negative 5). Triangle R S T has points (1, 1), (1, 5), and (4, 1).

Question illustration
A
The figures are congruent. ΔRST can be mapped to ΔACB by a reflection over the x-axis and a translation 2 units to the left.
B
The figures are congruent. ΔRST can be mapped to ΔACB by a reflection over the y-axis and a translation 2 units down.
C
The figures are not congruent. Point R corresponds to point A, but S corresponds to B and T corresponds to C.
D
The figures are not congruent. Point R does not correspond with point A.
