Two items are similar if their shapes are the same, and one is a larger version of the other. When two objects have the same shape and size, they are said to be congruent.
The triangles are comparable if two pairs of corresponding angles in a pair of triangles are congruent. This is because if two angle pairs are equal, the third pair must be equal as well.
When all three angle pairs are equal, the three pairs of sides must be proportionate as well.
When two items have the same shape, one is an expansion of the other. When two objects have the same shape and size, they are congruent.

We have been given the letter R written in Braille.
We need to find that which letter is of the same shape as R.
This can be found by counting and comparing the number of big dots and the number of small dots.
R has 3 big dots and 2 small dots in Braille.
We see that W also has 3 big dots and 2 small dots in Braille.

Hence, they are similar.
Finally, we can determine that the W is the letter with the same shape as the letter R.

We have been figures A and B.
We need to find whether these figures have the same side lengths and angles.
This can be found by the fact that similar figures do not always necessarily coincide.
When figures A and B are kept on top of each other, they produce mirror images of each other.
Hence, they are similar, i.e, they have the same side lengths and angles, but do not coincide.
Finally, we can determine that figures A and B have the same side lengths and angles.

We have been given two figures A and B.
We need to move Figure A on top of Figure B so all sides and angles match.
This can be done based on that fact that putting figures facing each other is another way to make them coincide.
Put figure A in such a way that its bottom portion faces Figure B, i.e, put them facing facing other.
We see that the angles match when they’re put like that.
Finally, we can determine that it is put facing Figure B so that all sides and angles match.

This can be found based on the fact that two figures are congruent if the second figure can be obtained from the first by a series of rotations, reflections, and/or translations(without affecting the size and shape).
Reflection, translation, and rotation change the position of the image but do not change the size and shape of the image, hence, these transformations create congruent images.
On the other hand, dilation changes the size of the image.
So, the image created by dilation is similar but not congruent(unless k=1).
Reflection, translation, and rotation change the position of the image but do not change the size and shape of the image, hence, these transformations create congruent images.

The three vertices of ΔCDE are C(1,4), D(1,1), and E(5,1).

We have to find the length of the sidesCD, DE, and CE.
We know the distance between two points(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)is given asDistance=√(x2−x1)²+(y2−y1)².
The length of CD with vertices C(1,4) and D(1,1) will be:
CD = \(\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}\)
CD = \(\sqrt{(1-1)^2+(1-4)^2}\)
CD = \(\sqrt{(0)^2+(-3)^2}\)
CD = \(\sqrt{0+9}\)
CD = 3 units.
The length of DE with vertices D(1,1) and E(5,1) will be:
DE = \(\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}\)
DE = \(\sqrt{(5-1)^2+(1-1)^2}\)
DE = \(\sqrt{(4)^2+(0)^2}\)
DE = \(\sqrt{16}\)
DE = 4 unit.
The length of CE with vertices C(1,4) and E(5,1) will be:
CE = \(\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}\)
CE = \(\sqrt{(5-1)^2+(1-4)^2}\)
CE = \(\sqrt{(4)^2+(-3)^2}\)

The three coordinates of the vertices of \(\triangle C D E\) are given as C(1,4), D(1,1), and E(5,1).
After taking a reflection along the y-axis we get
(x, y) → (-x, y)
C(1,4) → C(-1,4)
D(1,1) → D(-1,1)
E(5,1) → E(-5,1)
Now, after taking 2 units left translation we get
(x, y) → (x+2, y)
⇒ \(C^{\prime}(-1,4) \rightarrow C^{\prime}(-3,4)\)
⇒ \(D^{\prime}(-1,1) \rightarrow D^{\prime}(-3,1)\)

We know the distance between two points(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)is given as √(x2−x1)²+(y2−y1)².
The length of the side \(C^{\prime} D^{\prime}\) with vertices \(C^{\prime}(-3,4), D^{\prime}(-3,1)\) is given as:
⇒ \(C^{\prime} D^{\prime}=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}\)

⇒ \(C^{\prime} D^{\prime}=\sqrt{(0)^2+(-3)^2}\)
⇒ \(C^{\prime} D^{\prime}=\sqrt{9}\)
∴ \(C^{\prime} D^{\prime}=3 \text { unit. }\)
The length of the side \(D^{\prime} E^{\prime}\) with vertices \(D^{\prime}(-3,1)\) and \(E^{\prime}(-7,1)\)is given as:
⇒ \(^{\prime} E^{\prime}=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}\)
⇒ \(D^{\prime} E^{\prime}=\sqrt{(-7+3)^2+(1-1)^2}\)
⇒ \(D^{\prime} E^{\prime}=\sqrt{(-4)^2+(0)^2}\)
⇒ \(D^{\prime} E^{\prime}=\sqrt{16}\)
∴ \(D^{\prime} E^{\prime}=4 \text { unit. }\)
The length of the side \(C^{\prime} E^{\prime}\) with vertices \(C^{\prime}\left(-3,4\right.\) and \(E^{\prime}(-7,1)\) is given as:
⇒ \(C^{\prime} E^{\prime}=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}\)

Two figures are congruent if the second can be obtained from the first by a series of transformations (rotations reflections and translation).
Here, ΔC′D′E′is created by reflection followed by a translation of ΔCDE therefore, both these Triangles are congruent.
The other way to identify congruent triangles is that their matching side must have the same measure.
In the case of ΔCDE the length of their sides are =3 unit, DE =4 unit and CE =5 unit.
In the case ofΔC′D′E′the length of their sides are ′D′=3 unit, D′E′=4 unit, and C′E′=5 unit.
Therefore, these triangles are congruent.
ΔCDE and ΔC′D′E′are congruent triangles.

Sketch another segment B′O, so that the angle between points B, O, and B′ measures 90° and the segment is the same length as BO.
Do the same with vertex A(−3,4) and C(2,2)
The vertices of ΔABC\ after the rotation will be A′(4,3),B′(1,2),andC′(2,−2).

We have ΔA’B’C’ with vertices A′(4,3),B′(1,2)and C′(2,−2)
Here, a=0 and b=2 (x,y)→(x+0),(y+3)

B′(1,2)→(1+0,2+2)→(1,4)
C′(2,−2)→(2+0,−2+2)→(2,0)
So, the vertices of ΔA”B”C” areA″(4,5),B″(1,4)and C″(2,0).

After reflection from the y−axis, the y−coordinate of each point of the initial image will remain the same and the x−coordinates will be multiplied by -1.

A″(4,5)→(−4,5)
B″(1,4)→(−1,4)
C″(2,0)→(−2,0)
So, the vertices after reflection from the y−axis are A′′′ (−4,5), B′′′ (−1,4), and C′′′(−2,0)
The coordinates of vertices of ΔABC after rotation at an angle of 90° followed by the given translation and reflection are A′′′(−4,5), B′′′(−1,2), and C′′′(−2,0).
