1.

What do you know about two figures if they are congruent?

2.

What do you need to know about two figures to be convinced the two figures are congruent?

3.

What do you know about two figures if they are similar?

Set

Using the information given, determine the most precise classification of the quadrilateral.

5.

Has rotational symmetry.

6.

Has rotational symmetry.

7.

Has two lines of symmetry that are diagonals.

8.

Has two lines of symmetry that are not diagonals.

9.

Has congruent diagonals.

10.

Has diagonals that bisect each other.

11.

Has diagonals that are perpendicular.

12.

Has congruent angles.

Use transformations to justify each statement.

Provide informal justification, using transformations, for the attributes of the given quadrilaterals.

13.

For parallelogram , the diagonals bisect each other.

Parallelogram ABCD with diagonals

14.

For rhombus , the opposite angles are congruent.

Rhombus PQRS

For problems 18 and 19:

  • Graph each pair of points.

  • Find the slope between the points.

  • Find the distance between the points using the Pythagorean theorem.

Distances should be represented in exact form.
