For example, let's say that you are looking at two triangles, let's call them T1 and T2, where the lower left angle in T1 is the same as the one on T2, let's call the angles T1-A and T2-B. Angle T1-A is the corresponding angle to T2-B on the right, because they are in the same location in the two similar shapes. We say T1-A corresponds to T2-B. <BR>\n" );
