MA.912.G.4.4 Use properties of congruent
and similar triangles to solve problems
involving lengths and areas.
MA.912.G.4.6 Prove that triangles are
congruent or similar and use the concept of
corresponding parts of congruent triangles.
You identified and used congruent angles.
(Lesson 1–4)
• Name and use corresponding parts of
congruent polygons.
• Prove triangles congruent using the
definition of congruence.
• congruent
• congruent polygons
• corresponding parts
Identify Corresponding Congruent Parts
Show that the polygons are
congruent by identifying all of
the congruent corresponding
parts. Then write a
congruence statement.
Angles:
Sides:
Answer: All corresponding parts of the two polygons
are congruent. Therefore, ABCDE  RTPSQ.

Simplify.
mJIK = 36
Subtract 144 from
each side.
mJIH = 36
