Identifying Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles

Why is it important to label congruent parts correctly in triangles?

• To make the triangles look pretty

• To ensure accurate identification of congruent parts

• To confuse the students

• To make the triangles identical

Which angle is congruent to angle R in the given triangles?

Why is it important to write the lines up top when labeling sides?

• To make the triangles look symmetrical

• To differentiate between angles and sides

• To confuse the students

• To make the sides look longer

What is the correct way to write that side LJ is congruent to?
