Use rigid motions to transform figures and decide whether two figures are congruent.

Use coordinate evidence to decide whether figures are congruent

Problem

Use coordinate evidence to decide whether the figures with vertices \(0,~0\); \(3,~0\); \(0,~4\) and \(1,~1\); \(4,~1\); \(1,~5\) are congruent.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Coordinate evidence should establish congruence through preserved measurements rather than visual resemblance. Pair corresponding horizontal and vertical sides, calculate each remaining slanted side with the distance formula, and compare all three lengths; alternatively, a single common displacement across every vertex would certify the same rigid relationship.
