Naming the Moves
Is It a Reflection?
What type of move takes Figure A to Figure B?
Explain your reasoning.
Show Solution
Sample responses:
The move is 1 rotation. If Figure A is turned around the point shared by Figures A and B, it can land on Figure B.
The move is 2 reflections. If Figure A is flipped over line ℓ and then flipped over again so that the shared points and angle line up, then it can land on Figure B.

Lesson 8
Rotation Patterns
Is It a Rotation?
Triangle ABC is rotated 180∘ around point C. Will the image line up with triangle CDE? Explain how you know.
Show Solution
No. Sample response: If triangle CDE was a 180∘ rotation of triangle ABC, then line segment AB would be parallel to line segment DE.
Lesson 9
Moves in Parallel
Finding Unknown Measurements
Points A’ and B’ are the images of A and B after a 180∘ rotation around point O.
Answer each question and explain your reasoning without measuring segments or angles.
Name a segment whose length is the same as segment AO.
What is the measure of angle A′OB′?
Show Solution
Segment A’O, because A’ is the image of A after a 180∘rotation with center at O. This rotation preserves distances and takes segment AO to segment A’O.
79∘, the same measure as ∠AOB, because the 180∘ rotation with center at O takes ∠AOB to ∠A’OB’. The rotation preserves angle measures.

Problem 2
Triangle EDC is the image of triangle ABC after a rigid transformation.
Describe a rigid transformation that takes ABC to EDC.
Name 2 angles that have the same measure and explain how you know.
Name 2 side lengths that must be the same and explain how you know.
Show Solution
Sample responses:
Rotate triangle ABC180∘ around point C.
Angle A is the same as angle E, or angle B is the same as angle D, or angle ACB is the same as angle ECD; since triangle EDC is the image of triangle ABC after a rigid transformation, the corresponding angles are the same measure.
AB is the same length as ED, or BC is the same length as DC, or AC is the same length as EC; since triangle EDC is the image of triangle ABC after a rigid transformation, the corresponding side lengths are the same.
Lesson 11
What Is the Same?
Mirror Images
Figure B is the image of Figure A when reflected across line ℓ. Are Figure A and Figure B congruent? Explain your reasoning.
Show Solution
Yes, they are congruent. There is a rigid transformation that takes one figure to the other, so they are congruent.
Lesson 13
Congruence
Explaining Congruence
Are Figures A and B congruent? Explain your reasoning.
Show Solution
These figures are not congruent. Sample reasoning: If they were congruent, the longest horizontal distances between two points would be the same. However, for A it is less than 4 units, and for B it is about 4 units.
Section C Check
Section C Checkpoint
Problem 1
Which shape is congruent to Shape A? Describe a rigid transformation that takes A to that figure.
Which shape is not congruent to Shape A? Explain how you know.
Show Solution
Shape B is congruent to Shape A. Sample response: Translate Shape A 4 units right, then rotate 90∘ clockwise around (2,1).
Shape C is not congruent to Shape A. Sample response: Shape C has 2 side lengths of 3, but Shape A has no side lengths of 3, so they cannot be congruent.
Lesson 14
Alternate Interior Angles
All the Rest
The diagram shows two parallel lines cut by a transversal. One angle measure is shown.
Two lines that do not intersect. A third line intersects with both lines. At the first intersection, angles are marked in clockwise order as a degrees, b, degrees, c degrees, and 54 degrees. At the second intersection, angles are marked in clockwise order as e degrees, f degrees, g degrees, and d degrees.
Tyler has 3 right angles. Can he use them to make a triangle? Explain your reasoning.
Show Solution
No. Sample reasoning: 3 right angles sums to more than 180 degrees, since 3⋅90=270.
Lesson 16
Parallel Lines and the Angles in a Triangle
Angle Sum
What is the sum of the angle measures of triangle ABC? How do you know?
Show Solution
180∘. Sample response: Since the base and vertex lie on grid lines, we can see the line parallel to BC through A is a straight line. The three angles around point A add up to a straight angle. Using alternate interior angles, two angles are congruent to angle B and angle C, and the third angle is the same as angle A. So angles A, B, and C add up to 180∘.
Section D Check

Problem 2
Line AB is parallel to line CD. Explain how you know that the sum of the angles of triangle ABC is 180∘.
Show Solution
Sample response: Angles ECA, ACB, and BCD form a straight angle, which is 180∘. Angle ECA is congruent to angle CAB because they are alternate interior angles. Angle BCD is congruent to angle CBA because they are alternate interior angles. So the angles in triangle ABC are congruent to the angles that make a straight angle and must also sum to 180∘.

Another vertex at 9 units right and 1 unit up. Another vertex at 8 units right and 2 units up. Another vertex at 8 units right 4 units up.</p>
Show Solution
Answers vary. Sample response: Polygon A can be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise around its furthermost point on the right shown in the picture and then translated 4 units to the right.
Minimal Tier 1 response:
Work is complete and correct.
Sample: Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise around the rightmost point of Polygon A, translate 4 units right.
Tier 2 response:
Work shows general conceptual understanding and mastery, with some errors.
Sample errors: A drawing showing the intermediate transformation (the green polygon in the sample response), but no verbal descriptions; incomplete verbal descriptions (such as reference to a rotation without specifying a center point); the sequence of transformations contains a small, easily identifiable error (such as saying to rotate clockwise when the counterclockwise direction is the one that works); sequence of transformations is correct but does not use proper vocabulary (“turn” instead of rotate; “move” instead of translate).
Tier 3 response:
Significant errors in work demonstrate lack of conceptual understanding or mastery.
Sample errors: Explanation without reference to rigid transformations, or a sequence of transformations that does not take Polygon A to Polygon B (with no obvious small mistakes responsible for this error); descriptions of transformations are very unclear and the intended meaning is not evident.
Problem 5
For each pair of shapes, decide whether or not Shape A is congruent to Shape B. Explain your reasoning.
First pair:
Second pair:
Show Solution
Congruent. If Shape A is reflected over its right side, then rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise around the lower vertex, it can be placed on top of Shape B with a translation down and to the right.
Not congruent. The shapes look congruent, but when Shape A is moved on top of Shape B with a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation and a translation, they do not match up.
Minimal Tier 1 response:
Work is complete and correct.
Acceptable errors: Omitting reference to lines of reflection, centers of rotation, angles of rotation, and distance of translation, provided the visual makes these things clear.
Sample:
(with accompanying accurate drawing) Congruent, because I can reflect Shape A, rotate it, and then translate it onto Shape B.
(with accompanying accurate drawing) Not congruent, because when I rotate Shape A and then translate it, it still doesn’t match up with Shape B. Alternate response: I measured the angles, and they are not the same in the two shapes.
Tier 2 response:
Work shows general conceptual understanding and mastery, with some errors.
Sample errors: Transformations are shown, but with no written descriptions; in part b, transformations are done mostly correctly but enough accuracy was lost that the shapes appear to coincide.
Tier 3 response:
Significant errors in work demonstrate lack of conceptual understanding or mastery.
Sample errors: Work states that shapes are or are not congruent with no justification; descriptions of transformations are unclear and the intended meaning is not evident; vague explanations, such as “the shapes look the same.”
Problem 6
Lines AB and CD are parallel. Find the measures of the three angles in triangle ABF.
Show Solution
B: 42∘, A:23∘, F:115∘
Problem 7
Triangle CDA is the image of triangle ABC after a 180∘ rotation around the midpoint of segment AC. Triangle ECB is the image of triangle ABC after a 180∘ rotation around the midpoint of segment BC.
The measure of angle D is 52∘ and the measure of angle E is 94∘.
Identify at least two pairs of congruent angles in the figure and explain how you know they are congruent.
What is the measure of angle CBE? Explain how you know.
Name a triangle congruent to triangle CBE. Describe a rigid transformation from triangle CBE to that triangle.
Show Solution
Any two pairs: Angle D, angle ECB, and angle CBA are congruent; angle DCA, angle E, and angle BAC are congruent; angle DAC, angle BCA, and angle CBE are congruent. Sample reasoning: Triangle CDA and triangle ECB are the images of triangle ABC after a rotation, so there is a rigid transformation from any one of the triangles to the other, and they must be congruent. Since the triangles are congruent, their corresponding angles are also congruent.
34∘. Angle ECB is 52∘ since it is congruent to angle D. Angle DCA is 94∘ since it is congruent to angle E. Since the angles around point C form a straight angle, they must be 180∘. Angle ACB is 34∘ since 180−94−52=34. Since angle ACB is congruent to angle CBE, angle CBE is also 34∘.
Sample responses:
Triangle DAC. Translate left by the directed line segment from point C to point D.
Triangle BCA. Rotate 180∘ around the midpoint of BC.
Minimal Tier 1 response:
Work is complete and correct, with complete explanation or justification.
Sample:
Angle D and angle ECB. Angle E, and angle DCA. Triangle ACD is the image of triangle BEC after a translation, so their corresponding angles are congruent.
34∘. Angle ECB is 52∘ since it is congruent to angle D. Angle DCA is 94∘ since it is congruent to angle E. Since the angles around point C form a straight angle, they must be 180∘. Angle ACB is 34∘ since 180−94−52=34. Since angle ACB is congruent to angle CBE, angle CBE is also 34∘.
Triangle DAC. Translate left by the directed line segment from point C to point D.
Acceptable errors: An argument in part c that relies on congruent pairs of angles named in part a without restating the congruence in part c.
Tier 2 response:
Work shows good conceptual understanding and mastery, with either minor errors or correct work with insufficient explanation or justification.
Sample errors: Explanations in parts b and c appeal to the diagram and are logically sequenced but do not appeal specifically to transformations; good, complete explanations for parts b and c with incorrect angles identified in part b; no mention that the rotations are 180∘ in part b; one incorrect angle pair in part a; work for part c mentions that the sum of three angle measures is 180∘ but does not justify this by saying they are in a triangle or a straight angle.
Tier 3 response:
Work shows a developing but incomplete conceptual understanding, with significant errors.
Sample errors: Work for part a does not appeal to rotations; response to part c does not mention congruent angle pairs (see note under Tier 1 response); response to part c does not mention angles adding to 180∘; two incorrect angle pairs in part a without excellent parts b and c; three or more error types under Tier 2 response.
Tier 4 response:
Work includes major errors or omissions that demonstrate a lack of conceptual understanding and mastery.
Sample errors: Little progress on any of the problem parts; justification with many errors or no justification for parts b and c.
