Math 7 - Unit 6 - Day 1 - Congruent Sides and Angles

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 their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the symbol for congruence in geometry?

Back

The symbol for congruence is '≅'.

Front

If triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF, what can we say about their corresponding sides?

Back

The corresponding sides of triangle ABC and triangle DEF are equal in length.

Front

What is the corresponding side to \( \overline{MN} \) in \( \Delta ABC \cong \Delta NML \)?

Back

The corresponding side is \( \overline{BA} \).

Front

If side AB is congruent to side AE, what can we conclude about their lengths?

Back

The lengths of side AB and side AE are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding angles in congruent triangles?

Back

Corresponding angles in congruent triangles are equal.

Front

What is the measure of angle E if \( \angle E \cong \angle T \)?

Back

The measure of angle E is equal to the measure of angle T.

Front

How do you denote that two angles are congruent?

Back

You denote that two angles are congruent by writing \( \angle A \cong \angle B \).

Front

What is the definition of corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same position in two different shapes that are congruent.

Front

If triangle ABC is congruent to triangle XYZ, what can we say about angle A and angle X?

Back

Angle A is equal to angle X.
