4-1 Congruent Figures
Objective: Recognize congruent figures and their corresponding parts.
DEF ≅ GHI
Vocabulary
are figures that have the same size and shape.
(DNG pages 72-74, text reference pages 198-200) 4-1 Congruent Figures
When you name congruent polygons, always list corresponding vertices in the same order.
Congruent polygons have congruent corresponding parts
Matching vertices are corresponding vertices.
Matching sides are corresponding sides.
Matching angles are corresponding angles.
Congruent polygons
When two figures are congruent, you can move one so that it fits exactly on the other one.

Each pair of polygons is congruent. Find the measures of the numbered angles.
CAT ≅ JSD. List each of the following.
4. three pairs of congruent sides
5. three pairs of congruent angles
m1 = 110, m2 = 120 m3 = 90, m4 = 135 m5 = 140, m6 = 90,
m7 = 40, m8 = 90
