Use the given measurement tools to establish that the triangles below are in fact congruent. Then list the corresponding parts and write the congruence statement.
[size=150][math]m\angle A\cong[/math]_____[/size]
[math]\angle N[/math]
[size=150][math]m\angle B\cong[/math]_____[/size]
[math]\angle O[/math]
[size=150][math]m\angle C\cong[/math]_____[/size]
[math]\angle M[/math]
[size=150][math]AB\cong[/math]_____[/size]
[math]NO[/math]
[size=150][math]BC\cong[/math]_____[/size]
[math]OM[/math]
[size=150][math]AC\cong[/math]_____[/size]
[math]NM[/math]
Write the congruence statment for these triangles.
[math]\Delta ABC\cong\Delta NOM[/math]
Does order matter? Why or Why not?
Yes, the order of the congruence statement clues us in on the corresponding parts of the figure. For example, [math]\Delta ABC\cong\Delta NOM[/math] tells us that angle A corresponds to angle N, and BC corresponds OM.
