Question

congruency of triangles quick check
what term precisely describes triangles that can be mapped onto one another through a sequence of rigid motions? (1 point)
congruent
equal
similar
identical

Explanation:

• Congruent triangles have the same shape and size. Rigid motions (translations, rotations, reflections) preserve shape and size. So, triangles that can be mapped onto one another via rigid motions are congruent.
• "Equal" is too vague in geometry context for this specific property.
• Similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. Rigid motions don't change size, so this is not the right term.
• "Identical" is not a standard geometric term for this relationship described by rigid - motion mapping.

Answer:

congruent
