Triangle Action

Författare/skapare:Paula Tsoi-a-Sue, William Malone

We learned that if one figure is congruent to another it can be transformed to the other using a sequence of rigid transformations. In other words, if two figures are congruent we can map one onto the other using only translations, reflections and rotations. Let's use this to answer the questions below:

Consider the triangles below. They have been constructed in such a way that guarantees that they will remain congruent(the same). Move the vertices to see that they remain congruent. Use a sequence of transformations to show that they are congruent.

What sequence of transformations did you use?

What sequence of transformations could you use to show that △ and △ are congruent? Feel free to check your answer by performing your suggested sequence but it is not required.
