Overview: |
Learn about the characteristics required for congruent or similar figures. This video focuses on the variety of ways you can use the side and angle measurements of two triangles to check for congruence and also briefly discusses how that differs from similar figures. This video was submitted through the Innovation Math Challenge, a contest open to professional and nonprofessional producers. |

Mathematics
MA2019 (2019)
Grade: 7
Accelerated | 42. Verify experimentally the properties of rigid motions (rotations, reflections, and translations): lines are taken to lines, and line segments are taken to line segments of the same length; angles are taken to angles of the same measure; and parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.
a. Given a pair of two-dimensional figures, determine if a series of rigid motions maps one figure onto the other, recognizing that if such a sequence exists the figures are congruent; describe the transformation sequence that verifies a congruence relationship. [Grade 8, 22] | Mathematics

Accelerated | 44. Given a pair of two-dimensional figures, determine if a series of dilations and rigid motions maps one figure onto the other, recognizing that if such a sequence exists the figures are similar; describe the transformation sequence that exhibits the similarity between them.
