Question

  1. what theorem shows that $\triangle ace \cong \triangle bcd$?

a hypotenuse-leg congruence theorem
b angle-angle-side congruence theorem
c angle-side-angle congruence theorem
d side-angle-side congruence theorem

  1. what composition of rigid transformations maps $\triangle pqr$ to $\triangle xzy$?

a a translation 1 unit right and 3 units up, then a rotation $270^\circ$ about the origin
b a translation 2 units up, then a reflection across $x = 0$
c a reflection across $x = -2$, then a translation 6 units right and 2 units up
d a translation 6 units right, then a reflection across $y = -2$

for items 3–4, use $\triangle jkl$ and $\triangle lmn$ shown.

  1. what is $m\angle kjl$?

$\boxed{54}^\circ$

  1. what is $m\angle lnm$?

$\boxed{63}^\circ$

  1. what additional piece of information is needed to show that $\triangle def \cong \triangle pqr$ by the angle-side-angle congruence theorem?

a $\angle f \cong \angle r$
c $\overline{df} \cong \overline{pr}$
b $\angle d \cong \angle p$
d $\overline{ef} \cong \overline{qr}$

for items 6–8, refer to the diagram.

  1. is $\triangle ajg \cong \triangle cdf$? explain.

a yes; $\overline{cf} \cong \overline{ag}$, $\angle abc \cong \angle jbd$, and $\overline{df} \cong \overline{jg}$, so the triangles are congruent by the side-angle-side congruence theorem.
b yes; $\overline{cf} \cong \overline{ag}$, $\overline{df} \cong \overline{jg}$, and $\angle ajg \cong \angle cdf$, so the triangles are congruent by the side-side-angle congruence theorem
c yes; both triangles are right triangles, $\overline{cf} \cong \overline{ag}$, and $\overline{df} \cong \overline{jg}$, so the triangles are congruent by the hypotenuse-leg congruence theorem.
d no; the triangles are not congruent.

  1. if $m\angle bhg = 100$, what is $m\angle ced$?

$\boxed{\\_}^\circ$

  1. if $m\angle bef = 100$ and $m\angle cbe = 75$, what is $m\angle dag$? $\boxed{\\_}^\circ$

Explanation:

Item 1
Brief Explanations

To determine the congruence theorem for \( \triangle ACE \cong \triangle BCD \), we analyze the given diagram (implied angles and sides). The Side - Angle - Side (SAS) Congruence Theorem states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent. From the diagram, we can identify two sides and the included angle that match the SAS criteria. The other options: Hypotenuse - Leg is for right triangles only (not indicated here), Angle - Angle - Side (AAS) and Angle - Side - Angle (ASA) do not match the given triangle's congruent parts as well as SAS.

Brief Explanations

We analyze the rigid transformations (translation, reflection, rotation) that map \( \triangle PQR \) to \( \triangle XZY \).

  • Option A: The translation and rotation described do not align with the positions of the triangles.
  • Option B: A translation 2 units up and reflection across \( x = 0 \) (y - axis) does not map \( \triangle PQR \) to \( \triangle XZY \).
  • Option C: Reflecting across \( x=-2 \) (a vertical line) and then translating 6 units right and 2 units up aligns the vertices of \( \triangle PQR \) with \( \triangle XZY \).
  • Option D: The translation and reflection described do not result in the correct mapping.

Step 1: Identify triangle type

In \( \triangle JKL \), \( JK = KL \) (marked with ticks), so it is isosceles with \( \angle KJL=\angle KLJ \). The vertex angle \( \angle K = 72^{\circ} \).

Step 2: Use triangle angle sum

The sum of angles in a triangle is \( 180^{\circ} \). Let \( \angle KJL=\angle KLJ = x \). Then \( 72^{\circ}+x + x=180^{\circ} \). Simplify: \( 2x=180 - 72=108^{\circ} \), so \( x = \frac{108}{2}=54^{\circ} \).
