standard_description: Understand that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.
problem_activity: Problem 1

a.   What is the relationship between
$${{\angle AEC}}$$
and
$${\angle DEB}$$
? Between
$${{\angle AEC}}$$
and
$${\angle AED}$$
?
b.   Use transformations to show that
$${{\angle AEC}}$$
is congruent to
$${\angle DEB}$$
.
Problem 2
In the diagram below, lines
$$a$$
and
$$b$$
are parallel. Line
$$c$$
is a transversal that cuts through the parallel lines.

a.   Name four pairs of congruent vertical angles.
b.
$$\angle 2$$
and
$$\angle 8$$
are congruent. How can you prove this?
c.   Name three other pairs of corresponding angles.
