3. Rotations
Sign In
Think about the transformation that may have been done to make the first figure look like the second figure.
Corresponding Sides | Corresponding Angles |
---|---|
AB & JK | ∠ A & ∠ J |
BC & KL | ∠ B & ∠ K |
CD & LM | ∠ C & ∠ L |
DA & MJ | ∠ D & ∠ M |
If we connect the angles that seam to be similar, it appears that ABCD is a translation of JKLM.
Since ABCD and JKLM are in the same relative position, we can more easily match the corresponding sides and angles.
Using the first image, we can see which angles correspond and the second to relate the sides.
