Congruent and Similar Figures Objectiv to identify polygons that are similar and/or congruent (given either ‘measurements or tie and angle marks) 10 identify corresponding sides and/or angles of similar polygons to use proportions to determine if two figures are similar and to do indirect measurements Assessment Anchor: "7.4.2.2 Solve problems using ratios, proportions, percents and/or rates 7.C.1.2 = Identify congruence and/or similarity in polygons C - ‘Wocabulary alert! CONGRUENT FIGURES ~ figures that have the same shape and the same size | RE! SIMILAR FIG! ~ figures that have the same shape, but | not necessarily the same size TES Congeuent figures have corresponding parts (angles and sides) that are also. congruent. There are a few ways that we can prove figures to be congruent...but We'll focus right now on simply identifying them as being congruent, and also identifying their corresponding (matching) parts re Symbol for congruence @ crew A ABC POR B Cc This statement says that the two triangles are congruent, and therefore each corresponding partis congruent.
