Question

what term precisely describes triangles that can be mapped onto one another through a sequence of rigid motions? (1 point)
identical
equal
similar
congruent

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Rigid motions (translations, rotations, reflections) preserve the size and shape of a figure. Triangles that can be mapped onto each other via these motions have identical side lengths and angle measures, which is the definition of this geometric term. "Identical" and "equal" are not precise geometric terms for this relationship, while "similar" only requires matching angles (not equal side lengths).

Answer:

congruent
