standard_description: Verify experimentally the properties of rotations, reflections, and translations:
- Lines are taken to lines, and line segments to line segments of the same length.
- Angles are taken to angles of the same measure.
- Parallel lines are taken to parallel lines.
problem_activity: The two triangles in the picture below are congruent:

a.   Give a sequence of rotations, translations, and/or reflections that take
$${\triangle PRQ}$$
to
$${\triangle ABC}$$
.
b.   Is it possible to show the congruence in part (a) using only translations and rotations? Explain.


aligns: yes
