QuestionTranslate triangle FGH\triangle FGH down 2 units and left 5 units to get triangle KLMKLM. Complete the congruence statements:
GHKMKH \begin{aligned} \overline{GH} \cong & \\ \angle K \cong & \\ \overline{MK} \cong & \\ H \cong & \\ \end{aligned}

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. Triangle FGH\triangle FGH is translated units down and5 units to the left to form a new triangle KLM\triangle KLM. . The translation does not change the shape or size of the triangle, it only changes its position.

STEP 2

The translation of a figure does not change its size or shape, it only changes its position. Therefore, the lengths of corresponding sides and the measures of corresponding angles remain the same before and after the translation.

STEP 3

The line segment GH\overline{GH} in FGH\triangle FGH corresponds to LM\overline{LM} in KLM\triangle KLM after the translation. Therefore, we can say that GHLM\overline{GH} \cong \overline{LM}.

STEP 4

The angle KK in KLM\triangle KLM corresponds to angle $$ in $\triangle FGH$ before the translation. Therefore, we can say that $\angle K \cong \angle F$.

STEP 5

The line segment MK\overline{MK} in KLM\triangle KLM corresponds to HF\overline{HF} in FGH\triangle FGH before the translation. Therefore, we can say that MKHF\overline{MK} \cong \overline{HF}.

STEP 6

The vertex HH in FGH\triangle FGH corresponds to vertex MM in KLM\triangle KLM after the translation. Therefore, we can say that HMH \cong M.
So, the completed congruence statements areGHLMKFMKHFHM\begin{aligned} \overline{GH} \cong & \overline{LM} \\ \angle K \cong & \angle F \\ \overline{MK} \cong & \overline{HF} \\ H \cong & M \\ \end{aligned}
