Question

Triangle ABC is transformed to create triangle MNL. 2 triangles have identical side lengths and measures. The second triangle is shifted down and slightly to the right. Which statement is true? The transformation is rigid because corresponding side lengths and angles are congruent. The transformation is rigid because corresponding side lengths are congruent and corresponding angles are not congruent. The transformation is nonrigid because the two triangles have different names. The transformation is nonrigid because the three sides and the three angles in each triangle have different measures.

Answer 1

The transformation is rigid because corresponding side lengths and angles are congruent

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

The transformation is rigid because corresponding side lengths and angles are congruent

Explanation:

The problem statement tells you angles and side lengths are unchanged, so any answer choice contradicting that can be rejected.

Whether a transformation is rigid or not has nothing to do with naming, so you can reject the "different names" answer choice.

The true statement is ...

The transformation is rigid because corresponding side lengths and angles are congruent
