Congruent Triangles
An Introduction to Corresponding Parts
Two figures are congruent if they are the same size and same shape.
Congruent figures can be rotations of one another.
Congruent figures can be reflections of one another.

1) Are these shapes congruent? Explain.
1) Are these shapes congruent? Explain.
These shapes are congruent because they are both parallelograms of equal size.
2) Are these shapes congruent? Explain.
2) Are these shapes congruent? Explain.
These shapes are not congruent because they are different sizes.
