4 -1 Congruent Figures EQ: How do you show in writing how polygons are congruent? � What do you think makes figures congruent? � They have the same size and shape. � If you can slide, flip or turn a shape so that it fits exactly on another shape, then they are congruent.

4 -1 Congruent Figures EQ: How do you show in writing how polygons are congruent? � Congruent polygons have congruent corresponding parts – their matching sides and angles. � Matching vertices are corresponding vertices. � When you name congruent polygons, always list corresponding vertices in the same order.

4 -5 Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles EQ: How do you use the properties of Isosceles triangles in proofs? � Construct an Isosceles Triangle � 1. Use a straight edge to make a line segment. Label the endpoints A and B. � 2. Set your compass to a length that is greater than half the length of the segment. � 3. Without changing the compass setting, make arcs from either end of the line segment. � 4. Connect the endpoints of the segment to the intersection point of the two arcs. Label this point C. � 5. Measure the sides of the triangle to confirm that they are equal.
