Congruence and Angle Relationships
Description
In Topic C, students learn that congruence is just a sequence of basic rigid motions. The fundamental properties shared by all the basic rigid motions are then inherited by congruence: Congruence moves lines to lines and angles to angles, and it is both distance and angle-preserving. In Grade 7, students used facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles to find the measures of unknown angles. This module extends that knowledge to angle relationships that are formed when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
In Topic C, on angle relationships related to parallel lines, students learn that pairs of angles are congruent because they are angles that have been translated along a transversal, rotated around a point, or reflected across a line.
