In the previous segment, we had a look at congruent triangles. In this segment, we will see correspondences between vertices of congruent triangles.
What is the Correspondence between Vertices of Congruent Triangles?
Two figures are congruent if one when placed on the other, overlaps exactly.
Fig 1
Consider △ABC and △PQR such that they are congruent.
Here, Vertex A ↔ Vertex P Vertex B ↔ Vertex Q Vertex C ↔ Vertex R
The corresponding sides and angles of △PQR and △ABC are:
