Question

Quadrilateral EFGH is the result of a translation of quadrilateral ABCD . AB¯¯¯¯¯ is parallel to DC¯¯¯¯¯ in the pre-image.

Drag the answers to the boxes to correctly complete the statement about the image using the information given about the pre-image.

The corresponding segments _____and_________ in the image are _________________.

Answer 1

When two polygons are said to be similar or congruent, their corresponding vertices are named in the same order. So, if

ABCD is congruent to

EFGH

it means AB corresponds to EF, and DC correponds to HG.

Since AB is said to be parallel to DC, it means ...

The corresponding segments EF and HG in the image are parallel.
