Exploring Rotations on the Coordinate Plane APS
Rotations
When Rotating points 90 degrees CCW, describe how the corresponding point move with regard to the center of rotation.
When Rotating points 180 degrees CCW, describe how the corresponding point move with regard to the center of rotation.
Congruence Transformations APS
Congruence Transformation 1
Show that A is congruent to B by transforming A to B in a combination of transformations.
Congruence Transformation 2
Show that A is congruent to B by transforming A to B in a combination of transformations.
Congruence Transformation 3
Show that A is congruent to B by transforming A to B in a combination of transformations.
SAS - Exercise 1A APS
In the applet below, use the tools of transformational geometry to informally demonstrate the SAS Triangle Theorem to be true. [br][br]That is, use the tools of transformational geometry to map the [color=#bf9000][b]yellow triangle[/b][/color] onto the empty triangle. [br][br]Before starting, feel free to adjust any aspect of the [color=#bf9000][b]starting triangle[/b][/color] ([color=#666666][b]tilt[/b][/color], [color=#1e84cc][b]size of the included angle[/b][/color], [b]and the positions of points [/b][i]A[/i][b], [/b][i]B[/i][b], and [/b][i]C[/i]). You can also use the [b]black slider[/b] to [b]change the position of the image (empty) triangle.[/b] [br][br][i]Once you do start, it is recommended that you don't readjust these parameters. [/i]
Question:
Describe how you know the two triangle are congruent.
