Question

Determine if the two figures are congruent and explain your answer. (10 points)

Answer 1

Explanation:

) about the y-axis

2) about the line y = 1

Explanation:

CD = AD = sqrt(17) = GH = HE

AB = BC = sqrt(5) = EF = FG

So, ABCD & EFGH are congruent rectangles

This is a combination of 2 reflections:

1) about the y-axis

2) about the line y = 1

Answer 2

it depends on what the figure is. you could use different theorems such as side angle side, side side side, angle angle side, congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC), or hypotenuse leg (these work for triangles). for quadrilaterals you could find if the object is parallel or similar and work from there
