Math Problem Statement
Identify the angles and sides that are congruent between the two shapes below.
Solution
To identify the congruent angles and sides between the two triangles, let’s analyze the markings shown in the image:
-
Sides:
- Side has a single marking, which is congruent to side in the other triangle (also with a single marking).
- Side has a double marking, which is congruent to side in the other triangle (also with a double marking).
- Side has a triple marking, which is congruent to side in the other triangle (also with a triple marking).
-
Angles:
- Angle in triangle corresponds to in triangle , as they both have the same angle marking.

Would you like more details on any part of this answer, or have other questions?
Here are some additional questions to expand on the topic:
- How can we confirm triangle congruency using side-angle-side (SAS) or side-side-side (SSS) criteria?
- What other methods can be used to identify congruent angles and sides in different triangles?
- Why is it important to use markings when identifying congruent sides and angles?
- How does the congruence of angles relate to the similarity of two triangles?
- How would you approach a problem where the triangles are rotated or reflected?
Tip: Always check for consistent markings on diagrams, as they indicate congruent parts in geometry problems.
