Congruence and triangles Chapter 4 Section 4.2 Congruence and triangles
Warm-Up
Congruent Figures Two geometric figures are congruent if the have exactly the same size and shape When figures are congruent Corresponding angles are Corresponding sides are Are these two ?
Writing congruence statements When writing a congruence statement it is important that the pieces correspond in the statement just like in the picture.

Third Angle Theorem If two angles of a triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are also congruent
Proving Figures Are Congruent To prove two geometric figures congruent Must show all corresponding
