Congruent Figures B ( A ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ )))) • 2 figures are congruent if they have the exact same size and shape. • When 2 figures are congruent the corresponding parts are congruent. (angles and sides) • Quad ABDC is congruent to Quad EFHG ))) (( ___ ___ ___ ___ D C ( F ___ E ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ )))) ___ ___ ___ ___ ))) (( H G
Z • If Δ ABC is to Δ XYZ, which angle is to C?
Thm 4.33rd angles thm • If 2 s of one Δ are to 2 s of another Δ, then the 3rd s are also .
Ex: find x ) 22o ) 87o )) )) (4x+15)o
Ex: continued 22+87+4x+15=180 4x+15=71 4x=56 x=14
Ex: ABCD is to HGFE, find x and y. 9cm A B E 91o F (5y-12)o 86o 113o D C H G 4x-3cm 4x-3=9 5y-12=113 4x=12 5y=125 x=3 y=25
