What are Congruent figures? Lesson 3.1 Understand the concept of congruent figures and accurately identify the corresponding parts of figures.
Congruent figures: Same size, same shape • All sides, angles, and points the same • Match up the same
Ex.1: B Y A C X Z If ABC = XYZ then A X, B Y, C Z and AB XY, BC YZ, CA ZX * Notice letters match up in order
Definition: all pairs of corresponding parts are . • “implies” “If..., then...” • the statement is reversible
In later chapters polygons all pairs of corresponding parts are .

Try to justify each conclusion with one of the properties presented in Chapter 2 and in this section. • Multiplication Property • Subtraction Property • Substitution • Reflexive Property
