The document provides examples and explanations of congruent triangles. It begins with warm up questions about naming sides and angles of a triangle. It then discusses how to prove triangles are congruent using corresponding angles and sides being equal. Several examples are provided of using properties of congruent triangles to find missing angle measures or side lengths. Diagrams are included to illustrate bisectors and midpoints used in proofs of triangle congruence.
This powerpoint presentation is an introduction for the topic TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE. This topic is in Grade 8 Mathematics. I hope that you will learn something from this sides.

4. 4-3 Congruent Triangles
Geometric figures are congruent if they are
the same size and shape. Corresponding
angles and corresponding sides are in the
same position in polygons with an equal
number of sides.
Two polygons are congruent polygons if
and only if their corresponding sides are
congruent. Thus triangles that are the same
size and shape are congruent.

6. 4-3 Congruent Triangles
Helpful Hint
Two vertices that are the endpoints of a
side are called consecutive vertices.
For example, P and Q are consecutive
vertices.
Holt McDougal Geometry
7. 4-3 Congruent Triangles
To name a polygon, write the vertices
in consecutive order. For example, you
can name polygon PQRS as QRSP or
SRQP, but not as PRQS.
In a congruence statement, the order
of the vertices indicates the
corresponding parts.

8. 4-3 Congruent Triangles
Helpful Hint
When you write a statement such as
ABC DEF, you are also stating
which parts are congruent.
