Front

What is the significance of corresponding angles in congruent figures?

Back

Corresponding angles in congruent figures are equal, which helps in proving the figures are congruent.

Front

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

Back

The sides of triangle ABC are equal to the corresponding sides of triangle DEF, and the angles of triangle ABC are equal to the corresponding angles of triangle DEF.
