Question

1. figures j and k are shown.

a. is figure j congruent to figure k? explain.
b. is figure k congruent to figure j? explain.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand Congruence

Congruent figures have the same shape and size.

Step2: Analyze Figures J and K

By visual inspection (or using coordinate - based distance formula if needed, but since it's a grid - based figure and congruence is about shape and size equality), figure J can be transformed (rotated, translated, etc.) to match figure K exactly in shape and size.

Answer:

a. Yes, figure J is congruent to figure K. They have the same shape and size.
b. Yes, figure K is congruent to figure J. Congruence is symmetric. If J is congruent to K (same shape and size), then K is congruent to J.
