Check the rules of the problem!
You can
check the accuracy of your answer by looking back to see if you
followed the rules of the problem.
In this
unit, you will identify similar and congruent figures. You will
learn how to use ratios to find missing side lengths of right
triangles. Apply your knowledge of geometry and trigonometric
ratios. Discover how to move all points of a figure and keep a
congruent shape, and transform a figure and have a shape that is
similar to but not congruent to the original. You will also
learn to recognize several types of symmetry, and create endless
patterns using transformations.
