Question

for exercise 16, use the graph. 16. determine if the two figures are congruent. if they are congruent, what transformation(s) could map figure a onto figure b? if they are not congruent, what makes them incongruent? (lesson 4)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall congruence definition

Two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size.

Step2: Analyze figure size

By observing the grid - based figures, Figure A and Figure B do not have the same side - lengths. For example, the vertical side of the left - most part of Figure A is 3 units, while the corresponding vertical side of Figure B is 2 units.

Answer:

The two figures are not congruent because they are not the same size.
