Question

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

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Rigid motions (translations, rotations, reflections) preserve side - lengths and angle - measures. Triangles that can be mapped onto one another by rigid motions have the same size and shape, which is the definition of congruent triangles. Similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. "Equal" is not the correct geometric term here. "Identical" is not the standard geometric term for this concept.

Answer:

A. congruent
