1) Are these shapes congruent? Explain. These shapes are congruent because they are both parallelograms of equal size.
2) Are these shapes congruent? Explain. These shapes are not congruent because they are different sizes.

IH RS 3a = 6 3a = 6 3 3 In the figure, quadrilateral JIHK quadrilateral QRST. Find a. Divide both sides by 3. 3a I H a = 2 6 4b° S R 120° J 30° Q K c + 10° T
H S 4b = 120 4b = 120 4 4 In the figure, quadrilateral JIHK quadrilateral QRST. Find b. Divide both sides by 4. 3a I H 6 4b° S R b = 30° 120° J 30° Q K c + 10° T
K T c + 10 = 30 c + 10 = 30 –10 –10 In the figure, quadrilateral JIHK quadrilateral QRST. Find c. Subtract 10 from both sides. 3a I H 6 c = 20° 4b° S R 120° J 30° Q K c + 10° T
