The document discusses the properties of congruent figures, including:
- Corresponding sides are proportional and corresponding angles are equal (congruence)
- Triangles are congruent if three sides are equal (SSS), three angles are equal (AAA), two sides and the included angle are equal (SAS), or one side, two angles (ASA, AAS, SAA)
- The document provides examples of using proportional reasoning to solve problems involving similar figures and triangles. It includes 10 practice problems with solutions.
2. • All the corresponding sides are proportional, and
• All the corresponding angles are equal in measure.

Question : Are the trapezoids congruent?
Answer : 1) AB = WX, BC = XY, CD = YZ, DA = ZW, and
2) A = W, B = X, C = Y, D = Z.
Based on description above we can concluded that, both of
trapezoids are congruent.

W X
3. A picture or scale model has the same form as the
original form. Corresponding parts of the pictures or scale
model will have the same comparison with the original build.
Since the corresponding sides equal then the comparison can
be made as follows.
Length of the model = Width of the model = Height of the model
Length of the original Width of the original Height of the original

11. Exercise!
1)
If AC // DE, with AC = 12 cm, DE = 6 cm,
BE = 4 cm, so the length of CE is …
C
E
A D B
Answer:
EB + CE / EB = CA / ED
4 + CE / 4 = 12 / 6
4 + CE / 4 = 2 / 1
4 + CE = 8
CE = 8 – 4
CE = 4 cm So the length of CE is 4 cm

and 6 cm. If the actual width of tower is 2 m, so the actual
height is?
Answer:
6 cm
24 cm
2 m
x
x / 24 = 200 / 6
x / 24 = 100 / 3
3 x = 100 . 24

x = 800 cm
x = 8 m

If bac = edc, with
ae = 12 cm, ce = 6 cm
and cd = 8 cm,
so the length of db is?
Answer:
cd / ca = ce / cb
8 / 16 = 6 / cb
1 / 2 = 6 / cb
cb = 6 . 2
cb = 12 cm
db = cb – cd
db = 12 – 8
db = 4 cm

CF = 5,4 cm
Area ABCD = DC. DA

FE = (3 . 18) + (9 . 12)
3 + 9
FE = 54 + 108

Asked: The length of AI
?
Answer:
AU² = AL² + LU²

AU = √288
= √144 x 2
= 12 √2 cm
AI = AU – IU
AI = 12 √2 – 12
AI = (12 √2 – 2) cm

At the figure above known
the length of AD = 9, CD =

I.
CD² = AD . DB
12² = 9 . DB
144 = 9 . DB
DB = 144 / 9
DB = 16
II.
CB² = BD . BA
= 16 . (16 + 9)

In the picture above,
ΔAEB congruent with

18 x + 6 = 20 x + 4
18 x – 20 x = 4 – 6
-2 x = -2
x = 1
So, the value of x is 1.
