Congruent Figures by Vons

Front

What are congruent figures?

Back

Congruent figures are shapes that are identical in form and size. They can be superimposed on each other, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What does it mean for angles to be congruent?

Back

Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure. This is often denoted as ∠A ≅ ∠B.

Front

If two triangles are congruent, what can be said about their corresponding sides and angles?

Back

If two triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides are equal in length, and their corresponding angles are equal in measure.

Front

What is the symbol used to denote congruence?

Back

The symbol for congruence is '≅'.

Front

How can you determine if two angles are congruent using a protractor?

Back

You can measure each angle with a protractor. If both angles have the same degree measure, they are congruent.

Front

What is the relationship between congruent segments?

Back

Congruent segments are line segments that have the same length.

Front

If m∠A = 50° and m∠B = 50°, what can be concluded about ∠A and ∠B?

Back

∠A and ∠B are congruent because they have the same measure.

Front

What is the definition of a corresponding angle in congruent figures?

Back

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same relative position in two different figures.

Front

If triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF, what can be said about the sides AB and DE?

Back

Sides AB and DE are congruent, meaning AB = DE.

Front

What is the importance of the SSS (Side-Side-Side) congruence postulate?

Back

The SSS postulate states that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
