Question 921579: Given: ΔABC is congruent to ΔMNO
Identify all pairs of congruent corresponding parts.
help please? thanks
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A corresponds to M
B corresponds to N
C corresponds to O
notice the order stays the same (ABC, MNO) and how the letters pair up in the same order
-------------------------------------------------------
Angle A corresponds to angle M
Angle B corresponds to angle N
Angle C corresponds to angle O
If ΔABC is congruent to ΔMNO, then
Angle A is congruent to angle M
Angle B is congruent to angle N
Angle C is congruent to angle O
since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC)
-------------------------------------------------------
Segment AB corresponds to segment MN.
Segment BC corresponds to segment NO.
Segment AC corresponds to segment MO.
If ΔABC is congruent to ΔMNO, then
Segment AB = segment MN
Segment BC = segment NO
Segment AC = segment MO
Side Note: AC is the same as CA. You can name the segment by listing the two endpoints in any order. Same applies to BC, AB, etc etc
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me know if that helps or not. Thanks.
