4. Unit 2: Congruence & Similarity
“Congruent Figures”
Objective: To recognize congruent figures and their
corresponding congruent parts.
congruent figures: two or more figures (segments,
angles, triangles, etc.) that have the
“same shape” and the “same size”.
symbol for congruent: ≅
congruent polygons: two polygons are congruent if
all the pairs of corresponding sides and
all the pairs of corresponding angles are
congruent.

5. Examples of Congruent Polygons
"Slide", "Flip", "Turn"...Translate, Reflection, Rotate
If two figures are congruent, then one figure can be mapped
onto the other one by a one or series of “rigid motions”!

6. How do I know if sides or angles are congruent?
1. If figures are drawn to scale, then measure the corresponding
angles and measure the corresponding sides.
2. If figures are not drawn to scale, by special markings.
Side Markings (“ticks”)
Angle Markings (“hoops”)

7. Example: Given: ∆REM ≅ ∆FEM
List the corresponding congruent parts.

shared sides or shared angles are congruent to each other."

Objective: To identify similar polygons, prove two
triangles similar and use similar figures to find
missing measurements.
Two polygons are similar if,
1) their corresponding angles are congruent
and
2) their corresponding sides are proportional
(same ratio).
 The ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides is the
similarity ratio.
