Question

accelerated mathematics gr 8 | lesson: identifying and interpreting congruenc... what term describes the ability to move one shape on top of another so that they match exactly? a. congruence b. similarity c. symmetry d. proportionality

Explanation:

Congruence in geometry means two shapes have the same size and shape. When one shape can be moved (translated, rotated, or reflected) to exactly match another, they are congruent. Similarity involves shapes having the same shape but different sizes. Symmetry is about a shape having parts that mirror each other. Proportionality is related to the ratios of corresponding sides in similar - shaped objects.

Answer:

a. Congruence
