Question

Which sentence best explains why shape 1 and shape 2 are not congruent?

Answer 1

Answer-

Correct answer - "C. There is no sequence of rigid transformations that will map shape 1 onto 2"

Solution-

In transformation like translation, rotation, dilation, the shape of the final image remains same, only the orientation and size changes.

But, here the shape 1 is a heptagon and shape 2 is a regular octagon.

So, in no way any transformation can yield shape 2 from shape 1.

It doesn't matter whether the sides of the shapes are parallel or not.

So, option C is the correct answer.
