4. Congruence and Transformations

Can you map any of the figures onto another?
LMNP ≅ DEFG and △ QRS ≅ △ HJK
Regarding △ JHK and △ QRS, they seem to have the same shape and size. However, since they have both different orientation and location, we are likely dealing with a rotation about the origin. Let's rotate △ QRS about the origin 90^(∘).
As we can see, a rotation 90^(∘) about the origin maps △ QRS onto △ JHK. Therefore, they are congruent. Regarding the final two triangles we see that they do not have the same shape. This means they cannot be congruent.
