Corresponding Parts – matching up sides & angles G F B C H A D E Name the corresponding Sides (Letter order matters): Name the corresponding Angles:
Congruent Parts – Equal or exactly the same corresponding parts (shown by the same markings)*When all angles and sides are congruent the figures are congruent! G F B C H A D E Given that trapezoid ABCD is congruent to trapezoid EFGH. Label thefollowing; letter order matters! Congruent Sides: Congruent Angles:
Important Property! • If the first two angles are congruent then so are the third!
Example:Given that the two triangles are congruent, solve for x: 22o (4x+15)o 87o
Ex: ABCD is to HGFE, find x and y. F E 9cm B (5y-12)o A 91o 86o H G 113o 4x-3cm D C
Letter order matter when writing congruent statements; be sure that corresponding letter match up! D C A B F E or
