Corresponding Sides & Angles

Front

What are corresponding angles?

Back

Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position on different parallel lines cut by a transversal. They are equal in measure.

Front

What are corresponding sides?

Back

Corresponding sides are sides of two or more geometric figures that are in the same relative position. They are proportional in length when the figures are similar.

Front

If two triangles are similar, what can be said about their corresponding angles?

Back

The corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal.

Front

If two triangles are similar, what can be said about their corresponding sides?

Back

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion.

Front

What is the relationship between angle A and angle D if they are corresponding angles?

Back

Angle A is equal to angle D.

Front

What is the relationship between side ED and side TA if they are corresponding sides?

Back

Side ED is proportional to side TA.

Front

If angle E corresponds to angle B, what can be concluded about their measures?

Back

The measure of angle E is equal to the measure of angle B.

Front

What is the corresponding side to YZ in a triangle where BC is known?

Back

The corresponding side to YZ is BC.

Front

How do you identify corresponding angles in parallel lines cut by a transversal?

Back

Look for angles that are in the same position relative to the parallel lines and the transversal.

Front

What is the significance of corresponding sides in similar triangles?

Back

Corresponding sides help determine the scale factor between similar triangles.
