GEOMETRY LESSON 2 ACTIVITY

1. In the given figure, triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 and triangle 𝐵𝐶𝐷 have two equal sides and
share one equal angle. Are triangles 𝐴𝐵𝐶 and 𝐵𝐶𝐷 congruent?

A. Yes
B. No

2. Given that 𝐸 is the midpoint of 𝐴𝐶 in the given figure, without referencing

angles, which congruence criteria could you use to prove triangles 𝐴𝐵𝐸 and
𝐶𝐵𝐸 are congruent?

A. ASA
B. SSS
C. SAS
3. The figure shows triangles 𝐴𝐵𝐶 and 𝐷𝐸𝐹

A. Yes
B. No
4. Justify your answer with one of the following reasons. (See number
3 figure)
A. Triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 can be reflected onto triangle 𝐷𝐸𝐹 and, thus, the triangles
are congruent.
 B. No sequence of translations, reflections, or rotations exists that can map
triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 onto triangle 𝐷𝐸𝐹 and, therefore, the two triangles cannot
be congruent.
C. Triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 can be translated onto triangle 𝐷𝐸𝐹 and, thus, the triangles
are congruent.
D. Triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 can be rotated onto triangle 𝐷𝐸𝐹 and, thus, the triangles
are congruent.

5. Are the two triangles congruent?

A. Yes
B. No

6. Justify your answer with one of the following reasons. (See number
4 figure)

A. Triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 can be reflected onto triangle 𝐷𝐸𝐹 and, thus, the triangles
are congruent.
B. Triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 can be rotated onto triangle 𝐷𝐸𝐹 and, thus, the triangles
are congruent.
C. No sequence of translations, reflections, or rotations exists that can map
triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 onto triangle 𝐷𝐸𝐹 and, therefore, the two triangles cannot
be congruent.
D. Triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 can be translated onto triangle 𝐷𝐸𝐹 and, thus, the triangles
are congruent.

7. Are the two triangles congruent?

A. Yes
B. No
8. Justify your answer with one of the following reasons. (See number 7
