determine if the two figures below are congruent. use the drop-down menus below to justify why. which point on figure 2 corresponds to point u on figure 1?

figure 1 and figure 2 on a coordinate grid

answer attempt 1 out of 2
the two figures congruent because drop-down menu with options: non - rigid motions, only rigid motions are used to map figure 1 onto figure 2.
point corresponding to point u: blank box

Explanation:

Step1: Check congruence via rigid motions

Congruent figures map via rigid motions (preserve size/shape).

Step2: Identify corresponding vertices

Figure 1 (W,X,V,U) maps to Figure 2 (K,L,J,M) with U ↔ M.

Answer:

The two figures are congruent because only rigid motions are used to map Figure 1 onto Figure 2.
Point corresponding to point U: M
