Question

Which pairs of triangles can be shown to be congruent using rigid motions? Select "Congruent" or "Not congruent" for each pair of triangles.

A) ABC and EFG - Not congruent

B) ABC and JKL - Congruent

C) JKL and SRQ - Not congruent

D) QRS and DEF - Congruent

Answer 1

Triangles ABC and JKL, as well as triangles QRS and DEF, can be shown to be congruent using rigid motions.Correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pairs of triangles that can be shown to be congruent using rigid motions are:

A) ABC and JKL - Congruent

D) QRS and DEF - Congruent

Rigid motions, also known as isometries, include translations, rotations, and reflections.

When two triangles can be transformed into each other using any of these rigid motions, they are considered congruent.
