G.CO.B.6-7 Congruence via rigid motions

G.CO.C.8-11 Triangle, parallelogram, and line/angle theorems

Standards basis

New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Mathematics (NJSLS-M), aligned to Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) — New Jersey

How the NJSLA reports it

NJSLA math is built on the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Mathematics, which closely follow the Common Core domain structure and progressions. The assessment is organized by grade-level and end-of-course reporting aligned to those standards rather than by a separate proprietary framework.

Blueprint & weighting

NJDOE publishes statewide assessment administration information and grade/course coverage, but no official public math-domain weighting blueprint was located in the retrieved primary materials.

Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. A pair of corresponding angles measure $(3x+16)°$ and $(2x+34)°$ . What is the measure of each of these angles?

Corresponding angles are congruent: $3x+16=2x+34$ , so $x=18$ . Each angle measures $3(18)+16=70°$ .

Which transformation never keeps a point in the same place?

A translation is a rigid transformation that moves every point of a figure the exact same distance in the same direction. Since all points in the image remain equidistant from the points in the preimage, the figure remains congruent. In this example, a point is never kept in the same place.

Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Same-side interior angles measure $(6x-5)°$ and $(4x+15)°$ . What is the value of $x$ ?

Same-side interior angles are supplementary: $(6x-5)+(4x+15)=180$ , so $10x+10=180$ and $x=17$ .

A rigid transformation turns a figure around a fixed point by a specific angle in a specific direction. All points remain equidistant from that fixed point, keeping the image congruent to the preimage. Which transformation is this?

A rotation is a rigid transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, called a center of rotation, by a specific angle in a specific direction. All points remain equidistant from the center of rotation, keeping the image congruent to the preimage.

Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. A linear pair of adjacent angles measure $(5x+10)°$ and $(3x+50)°$ . What is the measure of the larger angle?

A linear pair is supplementary: $(5x+10)+(3x+50)=180$ , so $8x+60=180$ and $x=15$ . The angles are $85°$ and $95°$ , so the larger is $95°$ .

A rigid transformation moves every point of a figure the exact same distance in the same direction. Since all points in the image remain equidistant from the points in the preimage, the figure remains congruent. Which transformation is this?

In isosceles $\triangle DEF$ , the vertex angle measures $(4x+10)°$ and each base angle measures $(65-x)°$ . What is the measure of each base angle?

The three angles sum to $180°$ : $2(65-x)+(4x+10)=180$ , so $140+2x=180$ and $x=20$ . Each base angle is $65-20=45°$ .

Practice playeasy

Which transformation takes a line segment over a perpendicular bisector so that the segment maps directly onto itself?

A reflection is a rigid transformation that maps the points from a preimage, over a line of reflection, to the points of an image that are equidistant to the line. In this example, that line is the perpendicular bisector of a line segment from a point to its image, so the segment maps onto itself.
