Congruent/Non-Congruent Polygons

Front

What does it mean for two polygons to be congruent?

Back

Two polygons are congruent if they have the same shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the symbol used to denote congruence?

Back

The symbol for congruence is '≅'.

Front

If ∆EHG≅∆KFC, what can we say about the corresponding sides and angles?

Back

The corresponding sides and angles of ∆EHG and ∆KFC are equal.

Front

What is a congruence statement?

Back

A congruence statement is a mathematical statement that shows two figures are congruent, listing corresponding parts in order.

Front

How do you determine if two polygons are congruent?

Back

To determine if two polygons are congruent, check if all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding sides and angles in congruent polygons?

Back

In congruent polygons, corresponding sides are equal in length and corresponding angles are equal in measure.

Front

What does the term 'corresponding parts' refer to in congruent polygons?

Back

Corresponding parts refer to the sides and angles that match up between two congruent polygons.

Front

If ∆ABC≅∆XYZ, what can we conclude about side AB?

Back

Side AB is congruent to side XY.

Front

What is the importance of the order of letters in a congruence statement?

Back

The order of letters in a congruence statement indicates which parts of the figures correspond to each other.

Front

What does it mean if two polygons are non-congruent?

Back

Two polygons are non-congruent if they do not have the same shape and size, meaning at least one pair of corresponding sides or angles is not equal.
