Math Problem Statement
Which of the numbered stones shown cannot be mapped to another with a rigid motion?
Question content area bottom Part 1 Stones enter your response here cannot be mapped to another stone with a rigid motion
Solution
To determine which stone(s) cannot be mapped to another with a rigid motion, we need to understand what constitutes a "rigid motion."
Rigid motion refers to transformations such as translations (sliding), rotations, and reflections, where the shape, size, and distances between points remain unchanged. Essentially, the stones must be identical in shape and size, even if they are in different orientations or positions.
- If a stone has a unique shape, size, or orientation that no other stone shares, it cannot be mapped to another stone using any of the rigid motions.
If you have a diagram or image of the stones, please upload it, and I can help you identify which one(s) cannot be mapped to another.

Tip: Always check for congruency between figures when applying rigid motions; they must have the same shape and size.
