GEOMETRY SLIDESHOW 2:
CONGRUENT Figures are the same SIZE and SHAPE NOT Congruent NOT Congruent not same size not same shape
Which figures are congruent?
A and G D and I E and J C and H Did you get the following pairs? A and G D and I E and J C and H Remember: Shapes can be congruent even if one of them has been rotated (as in A and G) or reflected (as in C and H).
SIMILAR Figures have the same shape, but not size.
SIMILAR Figures have the same shape, but not size.
MOTIONS: There are 3 different ways to move a plane figure: *SLIDE *FLIP *TURN
*SLIDE – Translation *FLIP – Reflection *TURN - Rotation
SLIDE: TRANSLATION Moves a figure in a straight direction
FLIP: REFLECTION gives a mirror image of a figure
TURN: ROTATION moves a figure about a point

A turn or rotation…
A turn or rotation… moves a figure about a point L L
SYMMETRY A rectangle is a symmetric figure because it can be folded into 2 congruent halves that fit on top of each other. Each of your folds lie along a line of symmetry. The rectangle has two lines of symmetry.
SYMMETRY This W has only one line of symmetry.
