Questions and Answers
What are congruent figures?
Same size and shape so you can slide, flip, or turn it so the figures fit on each other.
What are congruent polygons?
Polygons that have congruent corresponding parts (matching sides and angles).
How do you name the congruent polygons congruence?
List the corresponding vertices in the same order.
Study Notes
Congruent Figures
- Congruent figures are identical in size and shape.
- They can be manipulated through sliding, flipping, or turning to perfectly overlap each other.
Congruent Polygons
- Congruent polygons feature congruent corresponding parts, meaning their sides and angles match.
- This congruence ensures that each element of one polygon aligns directly with the corresponding element of another polygon.
Naming Congruent Polygons
- To denote congruence of polygons, list their corresponding vertices in the same sequence.
- For example, if polygon ABC is congruent to polygon XYZ, the relationships are indicated as:
- A ≅ X,
- B ≅ Y,
- C ≅ Z.
