Congruent Figures Practice

Front

What does it mean for two figures to be congruent?

Back

Two figures are congruent if they have the same size and shape.

Front

What is the significance of the order of vertices in congruence notation?

Back

The order of vertices indicates the corresponding parts of the figures. For example, ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF means A corresponds to D, B to E, and C to F.

Front

What transformation can show that two figures are congruent?

Back

Transformations such as translations, rotations, and reflections can demonstrate congruence.

Front

What is a reflection in geometry?

Back

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point at a certain angle.

Front

What is a translation in geometry?

Back

A translation is a transformation that slides a figure in a straight line from one position to another without changing its shape or size.

Front

How do you identify corresponding parts of congruent figures?

Back

Corresponding parts are the sides and angles that match between two congruent figures.

Front

What does the symbol '≅' represent?

Back

The symbol '≅' means 'is congruent to'.

Front

If ∠A ≅ ∠M, what can you conclude about these angles?

Back

You can conclude that angles A and M have the same measure.

Front

What is the criteria for triangle congruence?

Back

The criteria for triangle congruence include SSS (Side-Side-Side), SAS (Side-Angle-Side), ASA (Angle-Side-Angle), AAS (Angle-Angle-Side), and HL (Hypotenuse-Leg for right triangles).
