standard_description: Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the sum of the three angles appears to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this is so.

Below is a picture of a triangle on a coordinate grid:

Draw the reflection of $\triangle ABC$ over the line $x = -2$. Label
the image of $A$ as $A^\prime$, the image of $B$ as  $B^\prime$ and
the image of $C$ as $C^\prime$.
Draw the reflection of $\triangle A^{\prime}B^{\prime}C^\prime$ over the line $x = 2$. Label
the image of $A^\prime $ as $A^{\prime \prime}$, the image of $B^\prime$ as  $B^{\prime \prime}$ and
the image of $C^\prime$ as $C^{\prime \prime}$.
What single rigid transformation of the plane will map $\triangle ABC$ to
$\triangle A^{\prime \prime}B^{\prime \prime}C^{\prime \prime}$?  Explain.
