Answer:
Part A: Angle R is not a right angle.
Part B; Angle GRT' is a right angle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
From the given figure it is noticed that the vertices of the triangle are G(-6,5), R(-3,1) and T(2,6).
Slope formula
The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.
Slope of GR is
Slope of RT is
Product of slopes of GR and RT is
Therefore lines GR and RT are not perpendicular to each other and angle R is not a right angle.
Part B:
If vertex T translated by rule
Then the coordinates of T' are
Slope of RT' is
Product of slopes of GR and RT' is
Since the product of slopes is -1, therefore the lines GR and RT' are perpendicular to each other and angle GRT' is a right angle.
By definition, congruent triangles should have all the corresponding sides and all the corresponding angles equal or congruent to each other. Thus, in the given question, all corresponding sides and angles of ΔEFG and ΔE'F'G' should be congruent. But, as we can see clearly it is given that, EF = 10 and E'F'= 12, thus, the corresponding sides EF and E'F' are not equal. Thus, we can never prove that:
Thus,
