Geometry 4.1 Congruent Figures
Congruent Figures • Two objects are congruent ( ) if they have the same size and shape • Two figures are congruent if and only if their vertices can be matched up so that corresponding parts (angles and sides) of the figures are congruent. • When writing which figures are congruent, be sure to write the vertices in the same order.

Congruent Figures • Sometimes you have to change the position of the figures to match up vertices • Practice “spinning” and “sliding” the figures mentally
