Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the problems from the image step by step:
Problem 7:
The transformation between the two triangles (one in Quadrant I and one in Quadrant III) is a rotation.
- Transformation: 180° rotation about the origin. When a figure is rotated 180° about the origin, the coordinates are transformed to , which matches the change from the triangle in Quadrant I to Quadrant III.
- Congruence Statement:
Problem 8:
The two triangles appear to be identical in shape and orientation, but they are located on opposite sides of the -axis. This suggests a reflection.
- Transformation: Reflection across the -axis. The reflection of a point across the -axis becomes , which aligns with the transformation seen here.
- Congruence Statement:
Problem 9:
In this problem, the two triangles are located on opposite sides of the -axis. This indicates another reflection.
- Transformation: Reflection across the -axis. The reflection of a point across the -axis becomes , which matches the transformation here.
- Congruence Statement:
Problems 10-12:
For these problems, you need to list the congruent sides and angles for the triangles based on the given congruence statements.
-
Problem 10:
- Congruent sides: , , and
- Congruent angles: , , and

Would you like more details on any of these transformations or congruence statements?
Here are five related questions to expand your understanding:
- How do you determine if two triangles are congruent using a transformation?
- What are the key properties of a 180° rotation in the coordinate plane?
- Can any triangle be reflected across the origin and still be congruent to its preimage?
- What are the different types of rigid transformations that preserve triangle congruence?
- How do you use the coordinates of vertices to confirm a reflection or rotation?
Tip: To check if a transformation preserves congruence, remember that translations, rotations, and reflections are all isometries, meaning they preserve distances and angles.
