The rigid transformation defined as a turn around a center point determined by an angle measured in degrees is a rotation.

△EFG is rotated −90 degrees (clockwise) to create △XYZ . Which of the following statements must be true?(1 point)
Responses

∠F≅∠Z
angle upper F congruent to angle upper Z

∠E≅∠X
angle upper E congruent to angle upper X

EF¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅XZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Modifying above upper E upper F with bar congruent to Modifying above upper X upper Z with bar

EG¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Modifying above upper E upper G with bar congruent to Modifying above upper X upper Y with bar

When △EFG is rotated −90 degrees (clockwise) to create △XYZ, the corresponding angles and sides remain congruent due to the properties of rigid transformations. Therefore, the following statements must be true:

  • ∠E≅∠X (angle upper E congruent to angle upper X)

So the correct answer is:

∠E≅∠X.
