Question
what term precisely describes triangles that can be mapped onto one another through a sequence of rigid motions? (1 point) equal identical similar congruent
Rigid motions (translations, rotations, reflections) preserve side - lengths and angle - measures. Triangles that can be mapped onto one another through a sequence of rigid motions have the same shape and size, which is the definition of congruent triangles. "Equal" is not the correct term in geometry for this concept. "Identical" is not a standard geometric term for this. Similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
