Congruent Figures #2

Front

What are congruent figures?

Back

Congruent figures are shapes that are identical in shape and size. They can be rotated, flipped, or moved, but they will always match perfectly.

Front

If two triangles are congruent, what can we say 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?

Back

Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure in degrees.

Front

What is a trapezoid?

Back

A trapezoid is a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides.

Front

If trapezoid ABCD is congruent to trapezoid WXYZ, which angles are congruent?

Back

Angle B in trapezoid ABCD is congruent to angle X in trapezoid WXYZ.

Front

What does it mean for two shapes to be similar?

Back

Similar shapes have the same shape but may differ in size. Their corresponding angles are equal, and their sides are in proportion.

Front

Can congruent figures be different colors?

Back

Yes, congruent figures can be different colors; color does not affect their congruence.

Front

What is the relationship between congruent triangles and their areas?

Back

Congruent triangles have the same area because they are identical in shape and size.

Front

What is the definition of corresponding parts in congruent figures?

Back

Corresponding parts are the sides and angles of congruent figures that match each other.
