Example 1
The corresponding parts of two congruent triangles are marked on
the figure. Write a congruence statement for the two triangles.

Arcs are used to

show which
angles are
congruent. Slash
Congruent Angles Congruent Sides marks are used to
show which sides
∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝐶 ≅ are congruent.

∠𝑆 ≅ ∠𝑁 ≅

Example 2
In the figure, ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF. As in a mapping, the order
of the vertices indicate the corresponding parts.

Worked examples of solving corresponding parts
of congruent triangles:
0 Two triangles ABC and XYZ are such
1 that; AB = 2.3 cm, BC = 3 cm, AC = 5.5
cm, XZ = 5.5 cm, YZ = 3 cm and XY =
2.3 cm. Check whether the triangles are
congruent.

AB = XY = 2.3 cm
BC = YZ = 3 cm and
AC = XZ = 5.5 cm Progress:
