Answer:

Recall that a rigid motion is that that preserves the distances while undergoing a motion in the plane. This is also called an isometry, rigid transformations, or congruence transformations and there are four different types. Therefore, for the translation to be considered "rigid" the two figures must be congruent by definition of a rigid motion.

Hope this helps!
