Corresponding Parts of Triangles

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be congruent?

Back

Two triangles are congruent if they have the same size and shape, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

If ∆PIG ≅ ∆COW, what can we say about the corresponding sides?

Back

The corresponding sides of the triangles are equal: PI = CO, IG = OW, PG = CW.

Front

What is the symbol for congruence in geometry?

Back

The symbol for congruence is '≅'.

Front

If ∠A ≅ ∠M, what can we conclude about their measures?

Back

The measures of ∠A and ∠M are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding angles in congruent triangles?

Back

Front

If ∆ABC ≅ ∆XYZ, what can we say about side AB?

Back

Side AB is congruent to side XY (AB ≅ XY).

Front

What is a congruence statement?

Back

A congruence statement is a way to express that two geometric figures are congruent, listing corresponding parts in order.

Front

Complete the congruence statement: ∆OEG ≅ ∆?

Back

∆OEG ≅ ∆GEA.

Front

If two triangles are congruent, how many pairs of corresponding sides are equal?

Back

All three pairs of corresponding sides are equal.

Front

What does the term 'corresponding parts' refer to in triangles?

Back

Corresponding parts refer to the sides and angles that are in the same position in two congruent triangles.
