A. Exercise
Consider the plane figures below! Show the corresponding sides and angles are similar from the couples of these congruent figures? Explain your answer.
Answer:
- We know that the requirements for the congruence of two plane figures:
- The corresponding lengths are equal; and
- The corresponding angles are similar.
- In every tip of the trapezoids, I give a letter. So, it will be easy to get the solutions. We have the trapezoid PQRS and the trapezoid WXYZ.
- For the trapezoids PQRS and WXYZ.
- The followings are the size of corresponding angles:
- ?PQR corresponds with ?YZW, then ?PQR = ?YZW = 450
- ?QRS corresponds with ?ZWX, then ?QRS = ?ZWX =1350
- ?RSP corresponds with ?WXY, then ?RSP = ?WXY = 900
- ?SPQ corresponds with ?XYZ, then ?SPQ = ?XYZ = 900
- The corresponding angles have similar sizes. It's mean, one requirement is fulfilled.
- The followings are the length of corresponding sides:
- PQ corresponds with YZ, then PQ = YZ
- QR corresponds with ZW, then QR = ZW
- RS corresponds with WX, then RS = WX
- SP corresponds with XY, then SP = XY
- I got the corresponding sides have equal sizes. Hence, one requirement is fulfilled.
- Based on the description above, I can conclude that the trapezoid PQRS is congruent with the trapezoid WXYZ because two requirements are fulfilled.
