4.1 Congruent Figures• Congruent figures have the same size and shape.– When two figures are congruent, you can slide, flip, or

turn one so that it fits exactly on the other one.

Congruent Figures• Congruent Polygons have congruent corresponding

parts – their matching sides and angles. When you name congruent polygons, you must list corresponding vertices in the same order.

Finding Congruent Parts• If HIJK LMNO, what are the congruent

corresponding parts?
