Math in Focus Grade 3 Chapter 18 Practice 2 Answer Key Congruent Figures
Does Figure A show a flip of Figure B? Write yes or no.
Question 1.
Answer: No
Explanation:
A flip is also called a reflection,
which rotates an object end over end.
So, A and B are not flip.
Question 2.
Answer: Yes
Explanation:
A flip is also called a reflection,
which rotates an object end over end.
So, A and B are flip. and figure B is flip of figure A
Does Figure C show a slide of Figure D? Write yes or no.
Question 3.
Answer: YES
Explanation:
Slides are the simplest transformation–just moving something from one place to another. In primary grades, we usually describe a slide using relative position words, such as “slide down” or “slide to the right and down”
So, figure C slides right to form figure D.
Question 4.
Answer: YES
Explanation:
Slides are the simplest transformation–just moving something from one place to another. In primary grades, we usually describe a slide using relative position words, such as “slide down” or “slide to the right and down”
So, figure C slides right to form figure D.
Does Figure E show a turn of Figure F? Write yes or no.
Question 5.
Answer: Yes
Explanation:
A turn or a rotation describes the motion of turning a shape as if it were drawn on a piece of paper.
The usual primary-grades vocabulary is a “turn” and the usual middle-grades vocabulary is “rotation”.
Question 6.
Answer: YES
Explanation:
A turn or a rotation describes the motion of turning a shape as if it were drawn on a piece of paper.
The usual primary-grades vocabulary is a “turn” and the usual middle-grades vocabulary is “rotation”.
Look at the pairs of figures. Identify and explain which pair is congruent and which is not.
Example
The two shapes are not congruent because they do not have the same shape.
Question 7.
The figures are ____________ because _________________.
Answer:
The figures are congruent because they have the same shape.
Explanation:
When two things are said to be congruent, it means that all of their measurements are identical.
So, the above figures are congruent.
Question 8.
The figures are ____________ because _________________.
Answer:
The figures are not congruent because they do not have the same shape.
Explanation:
When two things are said to be congruent, it means that all of their measurements are identical.
So, the above figures are not congruent.
Circle the pairs of congruent shapes.
Question 9.
Answer:
The figures are congruent because they have the same shape.
Explanation:
When two things are said to be congruent, it means that all of their measurements are identical.
So, the above figures are congruent.
Question 10.
Answer:
The figures are congruent because they have the same shape.
Explanation:
When two things are said to be congruent, it means that all of their measurements are identical.
So, the above figures are congruent.
Question 11.
Answer:
The figures are congruent because they have the same shape.
Explanation:
When two things are said to be congruent, it means that all of their measurements are identical.
So, the above figures are congruent.
Circle the congruent figures.
Question 12.
Answer:
Explanation:
When two things are said to be congruent, it means that all of their measurements are identical.
So, the 3rd figure is congruent to the given pentagon.
Question 13.
Answer:
Explanation:
When two things are said to be congruent, it means that all of their measurements are identical.
So, the 1st figure is congruent to the given Arrow Mark.
Draw congruent figures. Trace the shape. Cut it out and draw a congruent figure by sliding it from left to right.
Question 14.
Answer:
Explanation:
When two things are said to be congruent, it means that all of their measurements are identical.
Question 15.
Answer:
Explanation:
When two things are said to be congruent, it means that all of their measurements are identical.
Circle the figure that shows a flip.
Question 16.
Answer:
Explanation:
A flip is also called a reflection,
which rotates an object end over end.
So, in the above figure 1st letter is a flip of S.
Question 17.
Answer:
Explanation:
A flip is also called a reflection,
which rotates an object end over end.
So, in the above figure 3rd one is a flip of triangle.
Question 18.
Answer:
Explanation:
A flip is also called a reflection,
which rotates an object end over end.
So, in the above figure 3rd one is a flip of pentagon.
Circle the figure that shows a turn.
Question 19.
Answer:
Explanation:
A turn or a rotation describes the motion of turning a shape as if it were drawn on a piece of paper.
The usual primary-grades vocabulary is a “turn” and the usual middle-grades vocabulary is “rotation”.
Question 20.
Answer:
Explanation:
A turn or a rotation describes the motion of turning a shape as if it were drawn on a piece of paper.
The usual primary-grades vocabulary is a “turn” and the usual middle-grades vocabulary is “rotation”.
Question 21.
