Here are the answers to each question provided in the format you requested:
Question 1
To find the measure of EF in ΔABC ≅ ΔEDF, we can calculate the lengths of sides AB, BC, and CA using the given coordinates:
- A(-1, 1) to B(2, 4): \[ AB = \sqrt{(2 - (-1))^2 + (4 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2} \]
- B(2, 4) to C(3, 1): \[ BC = \sqrt{(3 - 2)^2 + (1 - 4)^2} = \sqrt{1^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{10} \]
- C(3, 1) to A(-1, 1): \[ CA = \sqrt{(-1 - 3)^2 + (1 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{(-4)^2} = 4 \]
Since the triangles are congruent, the length of EF (the side corresponding to AC) is 4.
Answer: 4
Question 2
Since triangle ABC and triangle DEC share angle C and corresponding sides BC and EC are marked congruent, the triangles are congruent by the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) postulate.
Answer: Yes, by SAS
Question 3
Declan's construction of a perpendicular bisector from vertex W to side XY at point Z means that WZ is equal to the length from W to the line XY, but it does not provide relationship between the other sides. However, based on the properties of perpendicular bisectors, the conclusion is:
\[ YZ = XZ \]
Answer: YZ = XZ
Question 4
To prove triangles ABC and DEF are congruent by SAS, we need one additional piece of information about the sides:
Since angles B and E are marked congruent and the included side AB is given equal to DE, we can use segment AC to complete the proof.
Answer: segment AC ≅ segment EF
Question 5
For the triangles to be congruent by HL (Hypotenuse-Leg), we must compare the hypotenuse and one leg. Given that both triangles have been given congruent legs of length 3, the pair needed to compare the hypotenuse is:
Answer: segment AC and segment EF
Question 6
For triangles Q and Q' to be congruent through a transformation, we look for a possible 180° rotation about the origin since all points would be reflected appropriately:
Answer: Clockwise rotation of 180° about the origin
Question 7
To find the coordinate for F that makes triangles ABC and DEF congruent, we look for a coordinate that matches the distances and configurations of triangle ABC. To find the correct point for F, we need to match the angles and resulting sides. The potential coordinates are:
- A(0, 3), B(-1, 2), C(2, 3) calculated against D(-1, 0) and E(1, -2), testing points leads to geometric congruence involving side lengths.
After calculating through options: Answer: (−2, −2)
Question 8
If triangles are congruent (ΔABC ≅ ΔFDE), by definition of congruence:
Answer: ∠A ≅ ∠E
Question 9
If triangle CAT rotates to C'A'T', the corresponding sides remain congruent. Specifically, C'T' cannot derive from vague rotations without side lengths, leading to indeterminate aspects in an abstract form.
Answer: Cannot be determined
Question 10
In congruent triangles ΔFGH and ΔIJK, corresponding segments stay equal in measure, meaning:
Answer: segment IJ
This gives a clear set of answers based on geometric theories and principles.
