What are Congruent Parts - Congruent Triangles

The video tutorial explains how to determine congruence in triangles by identifying corresponding parts, such as angles and sides. It begins with a simple example of congruent triangles and progresses to more complex scenarios, emphasizing the importance of matching corresponding parts. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the conditions necessary for triangles to be congruent, highlighting that all corresponding angles and sides must be equal in measure.

What is the term used for angles or sides that are in the same position in congruent triangles?

• Identical parts

• Symmetrical parts

• Corresponding parts

• Parallel parts

If angle B in one triangle is congruent to angle E in another, what feature helps identify this congruency?

• Color coding

• Positioning

• Tick marks

• Size comparison

Which of the following must be true for two triangles to be congruent?

• All angles are equal, but sides can differ

• All sides are equal, but angles can differ

• All corresponding angles and sides are equal

• Only one pair of angles needs to be equal

When matching sides of congruent triangles, what should you ensure?

• Sides are perpendicular

• Sides are of different lengths

• Sides have the same tick marks

• Sides are parallel

What is the result if all corresponding parts of two triangles are equal?

• The triangles are congruent

• The triangles are similar

• The triangles are identical

• The triangles are symmetrical
