Congruent Figures Section 4-1
Solve each equation. 1.x + 6 = 252.x = x = 5404.x + 10 = 2x 5.For the triangle at the right, use the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem to find the value of y.
Congruent figures have the same ______________ and _______________. When two figures are congruent, you can move one so that it fits exactly on the other one.
Three ways to make such a move are a _____________, a _____________, or a ________________.
