Pythagorean Theorem guarantees that the
third sides are the same length.

12. The two figures are not congruent. Three
triangles in the given figure:
△JNM _ △LNK, △JNM _ △KNL,
△JNK _ △MNL, △JNK _ △LNM, and
△JLM _ △KML _ △LJK _ △MKJ.
Note: We’ve listed what are essentially the
same triangles several times with vertices
in different order since there is symmetry
in the design that allows more than one
correspondence of vertices consistent with
congruence.
corresponding angles do not guarantee
congruence.

△EBD, a congruence that could be
established by a line reflection in the
bisector of ∠ABE or by a combination of a
counterclockwise rotation of 90° centered
at B and reflection in the line that contains
points B and D.

of congruent triangles that can be paired
up in response to this question. We give
several responses to indicate the types
of answers that could be given. There
are essentially only two transformations
needed—line reflections and half-turn
rotations about N.
15. Measurement evidence should suggest
that the given triangles are not congruent.
16. In this figure it appears that △ABC _
△EDF, a congruence that could be
established most easily by a line
reflection in the perpendicular bisector
of BD.
△JNM _ △LNK and △KML _ △MKJ can
be shown by half-turn rotation centered
at N. That point must be the midpoint of
each diagonal due to the symmetry of the
rectangle.
17. In this figure it appears that △JKL _ △TSR,
a congruence that could be established in
several sequences of transformations. One
such sequence would slide L to R, rotate
that image of △JKL counterclockwise by
90° centered at R, and reflection in the line
that contains RT .
△JNM _ △KNL and △JLM _ △KML
can be shown by reflection in a vertical
line through point N, again due to the
symmetry of the rectangle.
7. Certainly congruent by the Side-Side-Side

because the Pythagorean Theorem implies
that the third sides of each must be

do not imply that the parts of triangle ABC
necessarily correspond to parts of triangle
DEF by the order of the vertex labels;
in other words, triangle ABC could be
congruent to triangle DFE.
23. Without any information about side lengths,
the directions are unlikely to produce a
congruent copy of the given figure.
24. Although the given information is not in
one of the standard congruence criterion
forms, the recipient could deduce that
the measure of ∠A has to be 35° and
thus he/she will have Angle-Side-Angle
data to construct a triangle that must be
congruent to Figure 2.
19. It is possible, but not certain, that the two
triangles are congruent. One could be
larger than the other.
20. It is not possible for the two triangles to be
congruent. If they were, then DE = 3 cm
and △DEF would have to be an isosceles
triangle with congruent base angles. △ABC
cannot be isosceles, because ∠B has
measure of 30°.
25. Definitely congruent by the Angle-Side-
Angle criterion.
26. Again, this information satisfies the Side-
Angle-Side criterion for congruence.

are congruent by the Angle-Side-Angle
criterion (angles at A and D are right
angles, sides AC = DC, and ∠BCA _
∠ECD because they are vertical
or opposite angles formed by
intersecting lines).
31. a. No
b. This is sufficient information because
opposite sides and opposite angles
of a parallelogram are congruent and
consecutive angles are supplementary.

b. DE = AB.
33. a. This congruence is true for a variety of
D
reasons. For instance, the angles at O
are both right angles by construction of
the coordinate grid, OB = OC because
both are length 3, and AO = AO.
c. There are several different combinations
of sufficient information to determine
the shape and size of a quadrilateral.
Side-Angle-Side-Angle-Side is one;
Angle-Side-Angle-Side-Angle is another.
Less information won’t work.
b. AC _ AB, OC _ OB, ∠OAC _
∠OAB, and ∠ACO _ ∠ABO.

triangles that have legs 2 and 3 units or

39. a. The angle measures of the pentagon
must all be 108° because each triangle
has one 72° and two others that add

two numbers, do you know individual
numbers?’ The answer is, “Yes.” Proof of

40. In addition to the sides and angles given
to be congruent, AD is a side of both
triangles, and it sets up a Side-Angle-Side
congruence condition for △ABD _ △DEA.
This means that angle B _ angle E because
these are corresponding angles in the
two triangles just shown to be congruent.
And we know that angle BCA _ angle ECD
because these are vertical angles. Since we
have two pairs of congruent corresponding
angles and one pair of congruent
corresponding sides in △ABC and △DEC,
△ABC _ △DEC (using the Angle-AngleSide condition).
