Rigid transformations preserve segment lengths and angle measures. If you can find a rigid transformation, or a combination of rigid transformations, to map one triangle onto the other, then the triangles are congruent. To prove SAS, we started with two distinct triangles that had a pair of congruent corresponding sides and a congruent corresponding included angle. Then we performed a translation, followed by a rotation, followed by a reflection, to map one triangle onto the other, proving the SAS congruence theorem.

Rigid transformations (translations, reflections and rotations) are transformations that maintain the measure of line segments and angles. Being able to map a pre-image to an image using rigid transformations means that the sides are the same length, as is the angle between the two.

Answer:

The arcs on the Golden Gate Bridge.

Explanation:

I think about the Golden Gate Bridge, which is a suspension bridge.

As in any suspension bridge, a long cable is supported by two large supports.

The cable falls from a support, in the form of a curve concave upwards, to a minimum point that is the vertex of the parabola, through which the axis of symmetry passes, and curves again upwards to ascend to the upper end of the other support.

As a unique feature of this parabolic arc you can tell that the the concavity is upward; the parabola open upward.

Also, you can tell that the parabola is vertical, which means that the axis of symmetry is vertical.

The symmetry is clear because to the curve to the left of the vertex is a mirror image of the curve to the right of the vertex.

In order to answer the question, you need to know the area of a circle.
Area = pi * r^2
Area = 3.14 * (100/2) ^ 2
Area = 3.14 * 50^2
Area = 7850 mils^2 = 0.00785 in^2
