We learned terms like congruent. Congruent has a symbol that looks like:

Congruent means, Identical in shape and size.

  • Three pairs of corresponding sides are proportional
- Each vertex is a upper case letter and the opposite is a lower case letter.






A formula that you can use is:

OR


Example:














That`s pretty much it for what we did in math class. Tell me if I forgot anything and please leave a comment if you actually go on here and read it and if you can`t see the picture just click on it.
