Which rigid motions preserve length and angle measures?

By using one or a composition of translations, reflections or rotations.

Practice makes perfect
To map two congruent triangles you have to use one or a composition of rigid motions to place the triangles on top of each other. A rigid motion is a transformation that preserves length and angle measures of an object. There are three such transformations:

Translations Reflections Rotations
