G.CO.6 Understand congruence in terms of rigid motions

Consider parallelogram ABCD with coordinates A(2,−2), B(4,4), C(12,4), and D(10,−2). Consider the following transformation: A reflection over the x-axis Make a prediction about how the lengths, perimeter, area and angle measures will change.

Verify your predictions by performing the transformation.

Consider the following transformation: A rotation of counterclockwise about the origin Make a prediction about how the lengths, perimeter, area and angle measures will change.

Verify your predictions by performing the transformation.

Consider the following transformation: A dilation of scale factor 3 about the origin Make a prediction about how the lengths, perimeter, area and angle measures will change.

Verify your predictions by performing the transformation.

Consider the following transformation: A translation to the right 5 and down 3 Make a prediction about how the lengths, perimeter, area and angle measures will change

Verify your predictions by performing the transformation.

Compare and contrast which transformations a) reflection b) rotation c) dilation d) translation preserved the size and/or shape. Explain your reasoning.

Examine the figures below

Determine if the figures are congruent. If so, describe and demonstrate a sequence of rigid motions that maps one figure onto the other.
