Are quadrilaterals rigid?
no they are not rigid.
How do you find a sequence of rigid motions for quadrilaterals?
The answer depends on the quadrilateral. Some have rotational symmetry or reflective symmetry and it is not possible to distinguish between these and translations.
What is a rigid motion?
A rigid motion is a transformation in geometry that preserves the shape and size of a figure. This means that distances between points and angles remain unchanged during the transformation. Common types of rigid motions include translations, rotations, and reflections. Since the original figure and its transformed image are congruent, rigid motions do not alter the overall structure of the figure.
Why is a dilation not a basic rigid motion?
A dilation is not a basic rigid motion because it alters the size of a figure while maintaining its shape, rather than preserving distances between points. Rigid motions, such as translations, rotations, and reflections, only change the position or orientation of a figure without affecting its dimensions. In contrast, dilations involve scaling, which can either enlarge or reduce a figure, thus not satisfying the criteria of preserving lengths and angles.
What is rigid or semi-rigid?
Rigid is immovable, unbending. Semi-rigid can move in a limited way.

Why do architects and engineers use so many triangles in construction?
Triangles are rigid, quadrilaterals are not - a square can be "squashed" into rhombus.
What does it mean to prove that two figures are congruent using rigid motions?
Proving that two figures are congruent using rigid motions involves demonstrating that one figure can be transformed into the other through a series of translations, rotations, and reflections without changing the size or shape of the original figure. This proof relies on the principle that rigid motions preserve distance and angle measures. By showing that the corresponding parts of the two figures align perfectly after applying these transformations, it can be concluded that the figures are congruent.
What is the relationship between a translation and a rigid motion?
A translation is a type of rigid motion, which means it preserves distances and angles between points. In a translation, every point in a figure moves the same distance and direction. Rigid motions also include rotations and reflections.
What are not rigid motion transformations?
Dilation, shear, and rotation are not rigid motion transformations. Dilation involves changing the size of an object, shear involves stretching or skewing it, and rotation involves rotating it around a fixed point. Unlike rigid motions, these transformations may alter the shape or orientation of an object.
Another name for rigid transformation?
isometry

What are congruent objects?
congruent objects are the objects that are similar to each other in shape , size and color including length , width and breadth. for example:these 2 pictures are congruent as they same in size , colour and shape.
