Congruence Transformations

Suppose that you want to create two identical wings for a model airplane. You draw one wing on a large sheet of tracing paper, fold it along the dashed line, and then trace the first wing. How do you know that the two wings are identical?

In the Solve It, you may have used the properties of rigid motions to describe why the wings are identical.

Essential Understanding You can use compositions of rigid motions to understand congruence.

Are there other methods you could use to create two identical wings?

Identifying Equal Measures

The composition (r(90°, P) ∘ Rn)(LMNO) = GHJK is shown at the right.

A Which angle pairs have equal measures?

Because compositions of isometries preserve angle measure, corresponding angles have equal measures.

m∠L = m∠G, m∠M = m∠H , m∠N = m∠J , and m∠O = m∠K .

B Which sides have equal lengths?

By definition, isometries preserve distance. So, corresponding side lengths have equal measures.

LM = GH, MN = HJ, NO = JK, and LO = GK.

Lesson 9-5 CongruenceTransformations 55

In Problem 1 you saw that compositions of rigid motions preserve corresponding side lengths and angle measures. This suggests another way to define congruence.

Identifying Congruent Figures

Which pairs of figures in the grid are congruent? For each pair, what is a sequence of rigid motions that maps one figure to the other?

Figures are congruent if and only if there is a sequence of rigid motions that maps one figure to the other. So, to find congruent figures, look for sequences of translations, rotations, and reflections that map one figure to another.

Because r(180°, O)(△DEF) = △LMN , the triangles are congruent.

Because (T6-1, 57 ∘ Ry@axis)(ABCJ) = WXYZ , the trapezoids are congruent.

Because T6-2, 97(HG) = PQ, the line segments are congruent.

Because compositions of rigid motions take figures to congruent figures, they are also called congruence transformations.

Identifying Congruence Transformations

In the diagram at the right, △JQV @ △EWT. What is a congruence transformation that maps △JQV onto △EWT ?

Because △EWT lies above △JQV on the plane, a translation can map △JQV up on the plane. Also, notice that △EWT is on the opposite side of the y-axis and has the opposite orientation of △JQV. This suggests that the triangle is reflected across the y-axis.

It appears that a translation of △JQV up 5 units, followed by a reflection across the y-axis maps △JQV to △EWT. Verify by using the coordinates of the vertices.

T60, 57(x, y) = (x, y + 5) T60, 57(J) = (2, 4)

Ry@axis(2, 4) = (-2, 4) = E

Next, verify that the sequence maps Q to W and V to T.

T60, 57(Q) = (1, 1) T60, 57(V) = (5, 2) Ry@axis(1, 1) = (-1, 1) = W Ry@axis(5, 2) = (-5, 2) = T

So, the congruence transformation Ry@axis ∘ T60, 57 maps △JQV onto △EWT . Note that there are other possible congruence transformations that map △JQV onto △EWT .

Earlier in the course, you studied triangle congruence postulates and theorems. You can use congruence transformations to justify criteria for determining triangle congruence.

Verifying the SAS Postulate

Given: ∠J ≅ ∠P, PA ≅ JO, FP ≅ SJ

Prove: △JOS ≅ △PAF

Step 1 Translate △PAF so that points A and O coincide.

Step 2 Because PA ≅ JO, you can rotate △PAF about point A so that PA and JO coincide.

Step 3 Reflect △PAF across PA. Because reflections preserve angle measure and distance, and because ∠J ≅ ∠P and FP ≅ SJ , you know that the reflection maps ∠P to ∠J and FP to SJ . Since points S and F coincide, △PAF coincides with △JOS.

There is a congruence transformation that maps △PAF onto △JOS, so △PAF ≅ △JOS.
