Congruence and Similarity Tests

Questions
1. Find the value of the pronumerals in the following congruent triangles.
The first one has been done for you.
a) b)

a = 18 mm

Congruent triangles are the same shape

and the same size. So, if the matching
side to on the left triangle is
a , then 18 mm v = m

a must also be . 18 mm

c) d)

w = m

∘
d =

e) f)

∘ k = cm
y =

a) b)

a = 18 mm

Congruent triangles are the same shape

and the same size. So, if the matching
side to on the left triangle is
a , then 18 mm v = 58 m

a must also be . 18 mm

Congruent triangles are the same shape

and the same size. So, if the matching
side to on the left triangle is , then
v 58 m v

must also be58 mm .

c) d)

w = 6 m

∘
d = 30

Congruent triangles are the same shape

Congruent triangles are the same shape and the same size. So, if the matching
and the same size. So, if the matching side to on the right triangle is , then
w 6 m

angle to on the left triangle is , then

d 30
∘
d
w must also be .
