Angle \(ABC\) measures \(35^\circ\) and angle \(BAC\) measures \(115^\circ\).
- What is \(m{\angle ACE}\)?
- What is \(m{\angle DCB}\)?
- What is \(m{\angle ACB}\)?

Problem 5
The two figures are congruent.
- Label the points \(A’\), \(B’\) and \(C’\) that correspond to \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) in the figure on the right.
- If segment \(AB\) measures 2 cm, how long is segment \(A’B’\)? Explain.
- The point \(D\) is shown in addition to \(A\) and \(C\). How can you find the point \(D’\) that corresponds to \(D\)? Explain your reasoning.
