Question

1. for each pair of shapes, decide whether or not shape a is congruent to shape b. explain your reasoning. a. first pair

Explanation:

Step1: Recall congruence definition

Two shapes are congruent if they have the same size and shape. This means all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Step2: Analyze side - lengths

Count the grid - squares for corresponding sides of Shape A and Shape B. We can see that the lengths of the sides of Shape A match the lengths of the corresponding sides of Shape B.

Step3: Analyze angles

The angles of Shape A match the angles of Shape B as they are formed in the same way on the grid.

Answer:

Shape A is congruent to Shape B because all corresponding sides and angles are equal.
