5.1 • ESSENTIAL QUESTION • How do you identify congruent triangles and its corresponding parts?
VOCABULARY • When two triangles have exactly the same size and shape, the sides and angles that are the same in the triangles are called corresponding parts. • When all pairs of corresponding angles are congruent and all pairs of corresponding sides are congruent in two figures, the figures are congruent.
Example 1 SOLUTION Which angles and sides correspond to each other? List Corresponding Parts Given that JKL RST, list All corresponding congruent parts. Corresponding Angles Corresponding Sides ∆JKL∆RST, so JK RS. ∆JKL∆RST,soJR. ∆JKL∆RST, soKLST. ∆JKL ∆RST, soKS. ∆JKL∆RST, soJLRT. ∆JKL∆RST, soLT.
Example 2 Write a Congruence Statement The two triangles are congruent. a. Identify all corresponding congruent parts. b. Write a congruence statement. SOLUTION Corresponding Sides a. Corresponding Angles AB FD A F B D BC DE AC FE C E
Example 3 In the diagram,PQR XYZ. Find the length ofXZ. Find mQ. b. Because QY, you know that mQ= mY= 95°. Use Properties of Congruent Triangles a. b. SOLUTION a. Because XZPR, you know that XZ = PR = 10.
