Congruent Polygons

Definition
Two polygons are considered congruent if they are
the same size and shape. Examples
It does not matter whether or not they have been
rotated.

Congruent Polygons continue
If you can slide, flip or turn one polygon so
that if fits exactly on top of one another, then
the polygons are considered congruent. This is
another purpose of studying transformations.
Write this example down and then see the board

In the Real World
5
Careful! Whats Congruent Here?
6
Identifying Congruent Parts
Write a congruence statement for the two figures.

Think of what vertices correspond with one
another.
7
Symbols
These two triangles have different symbols on
them. What do they mean?
Write congruence statements for the following
problems.
