If the orientation of two shapes is not the same, first check which directions they point. Changing the orientation of a shape to map it onto another is only possible through either reflection or rotation. So, choose a suitable transformation—either reflection or rotation—to map one shape onto the other. Translations alone would not show the congruence of shapes with different orientations.
Transformation s the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. If an object is transformed, the all its points are also transformed. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.
Two shapes are congruet if they have the same shape and size, two objects are congruent if they can be moved without changing their shape or size. Congruent transformations are transformation that create congruent objects. The three types are:
Translation: sliding an object either up, down, left or right.
