Exploring Congruence

3. A rigid transformation that preserves distance, meaning it doesn't change the size or shape of a figure.
6. Similar figures have the same share but can differ in size
7. A theorem in geometry that states if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent
8. In a right triangle the hypotenuse is the longest, opposite the 90 degree angle, and the legs are the two shorter sides that for the right angle
9. A geometric rule that states if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent
12. A transformation that moves an object without changing its size or shape
13. A geometric transformation that flips a figure across a line called the line of reflection producing a mirror image

1. A figure is a mirror image of itself across a line, a point, or an axis, or that it looks the same after it has rotated
2. A type of geometric transformation that moves a figure or shape by sliding it
4. A postulate that states if all three sides of one triangle are congruent (equal in length) to the corresponding three sides of another triangle, then the two things are congruent
5. A congruence postulate stating that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two sides and included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent
10. A transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, the center of rotation, by a specific angle, either clockwise or counterclockwise
11. When two figures are identical in shape and size, and can be perfectly superimposed on each other through transformations like translation, rotation, or reflection
