Triangle Congruence Unit 1: Day 8
Perimeter of the preimage • Scale Factor = Perimeter of the Image Warm-Up #3 9.4.2014 Write one net rule for a reflection across the y-axis followed by a rotation 90 degrees about the origin. The perimeter of the image is 80 units. This image was created from the pre-image with a magnitude of 5. What is the perimeter of the pre-image? Hint: Remember the formula: Perimeter of the preimage • Scale Factor = Perimeter of the Image

What does it mean for two figures to be congruent? Essential Question #8 What does it mean for two figures to be congruent?
What characteristics did Translations, Rotations, and Reflections share? When the preimage and image have the same size and shape, we call the transformation an isometry, or a rigid motion. Definition: Two plane figures (polygons) are congruent if and only if one can be obtained from the other by a sequence of rigid motions.
Congruent Segments have the same length. Congruent Angles have the same measure (or degrees)
Triangle Congruence Two triangles are congruent if and only if one can be obtained from the other by rigid motions
Properties of Congruence
CPCTC … CPCTC is: Corresponding parts of a triangle are the sides and angles that are images of each other Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent (abbreviated as CPCTC) – If two triangles are congruent, then the corresponding sides and corresponding angles are congruent.
List all corresponding sides:
List all corresponding angles:
