Unit 4 Congruent Triangles ~ Lesson Objective To recognize congruent figures and their corresponding parts.
Congruent Figures Congruent Polygons: Congruent polygons are polygons that have corresponding sides that are congruent and corresponding angles that are congruent. Ex. Of corresponding: AX corresponds to PY AX PY XB YQ BC QR CA RP
Congruent Figures To be congruent, figures must have the same: Shape Size You can slide, flip or turn them so that one fits exactly over the other
List the congruent corresponding parts. Congruent Figures List the congruent corresponding parts.
Congruent Figures Given that the following pentagons are congruent, find the value of C A R W 132° E B 95° P S T D
Congruent Figures 92° 40° Theorem 4-1: If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the third angles are congruent.
