G.CO.7 Use the definition of congruence in
terms of rigid motions to show that two triangles
are congruent if and only if corresponding pairs
of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are
congruent.
G.CO.12 Make formal geometric constructions
with a variety of tools and methods (compass
and straightedge, string, reflective devices,
paper folding, dynamic geometric software,
etc.).
G.SRT.5 Use congruence and similarity criteria
for triangles to solve problems and to prove
relationships in geometric figures.
You identified and used congruent angles.

• Name and use corresponding parts of


congruent polygons.

• Prove triangles congruent using the


definition of congruence.
• Congruent polygons

• principle of superposition
Proving Polygons Congruent

Show that the polygons are congruent by using rigid


motions and by identifying all of the congruent
corresponding parts. Then write a congruence
statement.
Proving Polygons Congruent

Does a translation one polygon to the other? Yes

Are the corresponding angles of the polygons congruent? Yes

List the congruent angle pairs.  A ≅  R,  B ≅  T,  C


≅  P,  D ≅

 S,  E ≅  Q
Are the corresponding sides of the polygons congruent? Yes

List the corresponding congruent sides. AB ≅ RT, BC ≅ TP, CD ≅ PS, DE ≅ SQ ,


EA

≅ QR

List the corresponding congruent sides. Yes

Write the congruence statement. ABCDE ≅ RTPSQ


Proving Polygons Congruent

Answer: A translation maps one polygon exactly


onto the other.  A ≅  R,  B ≅  T,

 C ≅  P,  D ≅  S,  E ≅  Q

All corresponding parts of the two


polygons are congruent. Therefore,
ABCDE ≅ RTPSQ.
Use Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles

In the diagram, △ITP ≅ △NGO. Find the values of


x and y.
Use Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles

6y – 14 = 40  P≅ O
6y = 54 Solve for y. Add 14 to both
sides.
y=9 Divide both sides by 6.
x – 2y = 7.5 IT  NG
x – 2(9) = 7.5 y=9
x – 18 = 7.5 Solve for x by adding 18 to
both sides.
x = 25.5

Answer: x = 25.5, y = 9
Use the Third Angles Theorem

ARCHITECTURE A drawing of a tower’s roof is


composed of congruent triangles all converging at a
point at the top. If J ≅ K and mJ = 72, find
mJIH.
Use the Third Angles Theorem

m  J = m  K = 72  J≅ K
72 + 72 +  JIK = 180 The angles of a triangle add
together to 180.
 JIK = 36  JIK ≅  JIH
 JIH = 36 Corresponding parts of
congruent triangles are congruent.

Answer: mJIH = 36
Prove that Two Triangles Are Congruent
