Exploring Congruent Figures in Geometry

This video tutorial introduces the concept of congruent figures, explaining that they have the same size and shape. It covers how to identify corresponding angles and sides, using examples of triangles, squares, and trapezoids. The tutorial also discusses using notation and color coding to match corresponding parts, emphasizing the importance of naming order in polygons. Through examples, it demonstrates how to determine congruence by comparing side lengths and angles.

What is the main idea of congruent figures?

• They have the same size and shape.

• They have the same size but different shapes.

• They have different sizes but the same shape.

• They have different sizes and shapes.

What are matching angles in congruent figures called?
