Congruent Figures

Front

What are congruent figures?

Back

Congruent figures are shapes that are identical in form and size, meaning they can be superimposed on each other.

Front

What does it mean for angles to be congruent?

Back

Congruent angles have the same measure in degrees.

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on different parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Front

If two triangles are congruent, what can be said about their corresponding sides?

Back

The corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal in length.

Front

What is the symbol for congruence?

Back

The symbol for congruence is '≅'.

Front

If ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF, what can be inferred about angle A and angle D?

Back

Angle A is congruent to angle D (∠A ≅ ∠D).

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of congruent triangles?

Back

The lengths of corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding sides?

Back

Corresponding sides are sides that are in the same relative position in two different shapes.

Front

How can you determine if two angles are congruent?

Back

Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure.

Front

What is the significance of congruence in geometry?

Back

Congruence helps in proving that two shapes are identical in size and shape, which is essential in various geometric proofs.
