Determining and using triangle congruence
✳ I can use and describe rigid motions to decide if two figures are congruent (MGSE9-12.G.CO.6)
✳ I can use the definition of congruence to show that two triangles are congruent if and only if corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are congruent. (MGSE9-12.G.CO.7)
✳ I can explain how the criteria for triangle congruence (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and HL) follow from the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions. (MGSE9-12.G.CO.8)
Which of the learning targets/standards are you LEAST confident with?
Two figures are congruent if and only if one can be obtained from the other by a sequence of ___________ ______________.

Select all transformations that are RIGID MOTIONS.
Are the triangles congruent?
![]()
Put the RIGID MOTIONS argument in the correct order.
A reflection will map
A reflection is a rigid motion.
Therefore,
Determine what ADDITIONAL information would be needed to show that the two triangles are congruent.
In trianlge ΔAGE and ΔOLD, ∠A ≅ ∠O, and AE ≅ OD. What ADDITIONAL information is needed to prove that the triangles are congruent by AAS?
