Congruent Segments: Quick Exploration
[color=#000000]The following app illustrates what it means for segments to be classified as [b]congruent segments. [br][/b][/color]
Interact with the applet below for a few minutes. Be sure to move the LARGE POINTS around each time before you drag the slider! Then answer the questions that follow.
What transformations have we learned about so far? List them.
What transformations did you observe here while interacting with this app?
What does it mean for segments to be classified as [b]congruent segments[/b]? Explain.
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.
Translation
Rotation
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'.
