Congruent Figures

Front

What are congruent figures?

Back

Congruent figures are shapes that are the same size and shape. They can be rotated, flipped, or moved, but they remain identical in dimensions.

Front

Which statement is always true about two congruent polygons?

Back

The number of angles & sides is always the same.

Front

What does the symbol '≅' mean in geometry?

Back

The symbol '≅' means 'is congruent to' and is used to indicate that two figures have the same shape and size.

Front

What are corresponding sides in congruent figures?

Back

Corresponding sides are the sides of two congruent figures that are in the same position relative to their respective shapes.

Front

What are corresponding angles in congruent figures?

Back

Corresponding angles are the angles of two congruent figures that are in the same position relative to their respective shapes.

Front

If triangle A is congruent to triangle B, how can we write this?

Back

We can write this as: ΔA ≅ ΔB.

Front

What does it mean for two shapes to be similar?

Back

Similar shapes have the same shape but may be different sizes. Their corresponding angles are equal, and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

What is the relationship between congruent figures and transformations?

Back

Congruent figures can be transformed through rotations, reflections, and translations without changing their size or shape.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent?

Back

Two triangles can be determined to be congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the importance of order in congruence statements?

Back

The order in congruence statements matters because it indicates which vertices correspond to each other in the figures.
