1. congruent figures are shapes that have the same ____________ and size.
2. the transformation that involves shifting a figure without rotating or flipping it is called ____________ .
3. the formula used to calculate the distance between two points on a coordinate plane is called the ____________ formula.
4. the transformation that involves flipping a figure over a line is known as ____________ .

Explanation:

1. Congruent figures are defined as having identical shape and size, so the missing term is shape.
2. A transformation that slides a figure without rotation or flipping is a translation.
3. The formula for distance between two coordinate points is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, called the distance formula.
4. Flipping a figure over a line is the definition of a reflection transformation.

Answer:

1. shape
2. translation
3. distance
4. reflection
