What You’ll Learn

Why Learn This?

Designers use congruent figures in architecture.

You can fit some congruent figures together without

gaps or spaces..

Introduction

Vocabulary

Congruent figures have congruent corresponding

sides and congruent corresponding angles. The

matching sides and angles are corresponding

parts.

Similar Figures – are figures that have the same

shape but not necessarily the same size.

Vocabulary

Congruent Figures – are figures that have exactly

the same size and shape.

Vocabulary Review

They have the same measure.

2. 3

two congruent

sides: isosceles

no congruent

sides: scalene

Are the pentagons congruent?

COURSE 1 LESSON 8-6

The corresponding sides and angles are congruent,

so the pentagons are congruent.

Quick Check

Are the figures congruent or similar? Explain.

COURSE 1 LESSON 8-6

The two rectangles are not congruent because

their corresponding sides are not congruent.

The two rectangles are similar because their corresponding

sides are proportional and their corresponding angles are congruent.
