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.
Option D
4

Triangles W X Z and Y Z X share common side X Z. Angles W X Z and X Z Y are right angles. The lengths of sides W X and Z Y are 21 centimeters.

Question illustration
A
Yes, they are congruent by SAS.
B
Yes, they are both right triangles.
C
No, the triangles share side XZ.
D
No, there is only one set of congruent sides.
5

Triangles A B C and D E F are shown. Triangle A B C is rotated to the left about point A and then is shifted up and to the right to form triangle D E F.

Question illustration
A
Translate vertex A to vertex D, and then reflect △ABC across the line containing AC.
B
Translate vertex B to vertex D, and then rotate △ABC around point B to align the sides and angles.
C
Translate vertex B to vertex D, and then reflect △ABC across the line containing AC.
D
Translate vertex A to vertex D, and then rotate △ABC around point A to align the sides and angles.

Triangle A B C is shown. Lines are drawn from each point to to the opposite side and intersect at point G. Line segments A D, B E, and C F are created.

Question illustration
A
Point G cannot be the centroid because 18:6 does not equal 2:1.
B
Point G cannot be the centroid because FG should be longer than CG.
C
Point G can be the centroid because 12:6 equals 2:1.
D
Point G can be the centroid because FC is longer than FG.
9

Question illustration
A
a remote interior angle
B
an adjacent interior angle
C
an exterior angle
D
a complementary angle
