4.3 Notes 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.
Example 1: Naming Congruent Corresponding Parts Example 1: Naming Congruent Corresponding Parts Given: ∆PQR ∆STW Identify all pairs of corresponding congruent parts.
