EXTENDED RESPONSE Triangle DVW has vertices
D(–5, –1), V(–1, –2), and W(–7, –4). Triangle LPM has
vertices L(1, –5), P(2, –1), and M(4, –7).
a.Graph both triangles on the same coordinate
plane.
b.Use your graph to make a conjecture as to
whether the triangles are congruent. Explain
your
reasoning.
c.Write a logical argument that uses coordinate
geometry to support the conjecture you made
in
part b.
SSS on the Coordinate
Plane
Read the Test Item
You are asked to do three things in this problem. In
part a, you are to graph ΔDVW and ΔLPM on the
same coordinate plane. In part b, you should make a
conjecture that ΔDVW ΔLPM or ΔDVW ΔLPM
based on your graph. Finally, in part c, you are asked
to prove your conjecture.

Solve the Test Item
a.
SSS on the Coordinate
Plane
b. From the graph, it appears that the triangles have
the same shapes, so we conjecture that they are
congruent.
c. Use the Distance Formula to show all
corresponding sides have the same measure.

Answer: WD = ML, DV = LP, and VW = PM. By
definition of congruent segments, all
corresponding segments are congruent.
Therefore, ΔDVW ΔLPM by SSS.
