If two figures are congruent, the following statements will be true:
-
A series of transformations will take one figure to the other figure. (True - congruent figures can be mapped onto each other through transformations such as rotation, reflection, and translation.)
-
The perimeters of the figures will be congruent. (True - congruent figures have the same dimensions and, therefore, equal perimeter.)
-
The figures will have the same angle measurements. (True - congruent figures have all corresponding angles that are equal.)
The following statements are not true:
-
The figures will not have the same number of sides. (False - congruent figures must have the same number of sides.)
-
The areas of the figures will not be congruent. (False - congruent figures have equal areas.)
-
Corresponding sides will not be congruent. (False - congruent figures have corresponding sides that are equal in length.)
Therefore, the true statements are:
- A series of transformations will take one figure to the other figure.
- The perimeters of the figures will be congruent.
- The figures will have the same angle measurements.
