Tim Brzezinski, Shamashuddin Attar, Jun 2, 2018

[b]This GeoGebra Book contains lots of discovery-based learning activities, investigations, and meaningful remediation worksheets that were designed to help enhance students' learning of geometry concepts both inside and outside of the mathematics classroom. [color=#1551b5]This GeoGebra Book also contains contributions from the following individuals: Jennifer Silverman ([url]https://www.geogebra.org/jennifer+silverman[/url]) Steve Phelps ([url]https://www.geogebra.org/stevephelps[/url]) Dr. Ted Coe ([url]https://www.geogebra.org/tedcoe[/url]) Without their amazing talent and creativity, this resource would not have been possible.

Translations and Rotations

Direct Isometries
Translations and rotations are [i]direct isometries[/i]. If you read the names of the vertices in cyclic order (A-B-C and A'-B'-C'), both would be read in the counterclockwise (or clockwise) direction.

Are the triangles congruent (part 2)?

Use the given measurement tools to establish that the corresponding sides of triangle ABS and [br]triangle A'B'C' are parallel and have equal lengths.[br][br]Use the given transformation tools to establish that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle A'B'C'.

Congruent Figures: Dynamic Illustration

[color=#0000ff]Recall an ISOMETRY is a transformation that preserves distance.[/color] So far, we have already explored the following isometries:[br][br][color=#0000ff]Translation by Vector[br]Rotation about a Point[br]Reflection about a Line[br]Reflection about a Point (same as 180-degree rotation about a point) [/color][br][br]For a quick refresher about [color=#0000ff]isometries[/color], see this [url=https://www.geogebra.org/m/KFtdRvyv]Messing with Mona applet[/url].
CONGRUENT FIGURES
[b]Definition: [br][br]Any two figures are said to be CONGRUENT if and only if one can be mapped perfectly onto the other using [color=#0000ff]any 1 or composition of 2 (or more) ISOMETRIES.[/color][/b][br][br]The applet below dynamically illustrates, [b]by DEFINITION[/b], what it means for any 2 figures (in this case, triangles) to be [b]CONGRUENT.[/b] [br][br]Feel free to move the BIG WHITE VERTICES of either triangle anywhere you'd like at any time.

SAS: Dynamic Proof!

[color=#000000]The [/color][b][u][color=#0000ff]SAS Triangle Congruence Theorem[/color][/u][/b][color=#000000] states that [/color][b][color=#000000]if 2 sides [/color][color=#000000]and their [/color][color=#ff00ff]included angle [/color][color=#000000]of one triangle are congruent to 2 sides and their [/color][color=#ff00ff]included angle [/color][color=#000000]of another triangle, then those triangles are congruent. [/color][/b][color=#000000]The applet below uses transformational geometry to dynamically prove this very theorem. [br][br][/color][color=#000000]Interact with this applet below for a few minutes, then answer the questions that follow. [br][/color][color=#000000]As you do, feel free to move the [b]BIG WHITE POINTS[/b] anywhere you'd like on the screen! [/color]
Q1:
What geometry transformations did you observe in the applet above? List them.
Q2:
What common trait do all these transformations (you listed in your response to (1)) have?
Q3:
Go to [url=https://www.geogebra.org/m/d9HrmyAp#chapter/74321]this link[/url] and complete the first 5 exercises in this GeoGebra Book chapter.
