Turned and Flipped Still Match
Congruent pairs that only line up after a rotation or a reflection.

Figures can be rotated or flipped and still be identical in shape and size.
What congruent means, how to test it by turning and flipping, and which measurements you need to copy a shape.

Why AB and BC alone cannot rebuild the signboard symbol.
A painter is sent to create a copy of a signboard symbol consisting of two connected straight lines. They are given only two measurements for the symbol's arms: and . When they return, the symbol is completely wrong. What happened?
Figures with the same shape and size are congruent and can be superimposed.
Figures that are exact copies of each other, having the same shape and size, are said to be congruent. But how can we test if two shapes are actually identical?
Congruent pairs that only line up after a rotation or a reflection.
Figures can be rotated or flipped and still be identical in shape and size.
Judge four pairs of shapes for congruence, turns and flips allowed.
Are two V-shaped open symbols congruent if they have the exact same arm lengths, but different corner angles?
Minimum measurements that fix a circle, a rectangle and a two-arm figure.
The three measurements that let you rebuild the symbol exactly.
Problem. State the exact measurements needed to perfectly recreate the two-armed signboard symbol so that it is congruent to the original.
Complete the steps for checking whether two rectangles are congruent.
To copy a rectangle exactly I need its and its . Its angles need no measuring because each one is degrees. Two rectangles are congruent when both the and the are equal. Two circles are congruent when their are equal.
