Transcript 4.1 Congruent Figures - Cardinal O'Hara High School

4.1 Congruent Figures
• Congruent figures have the same size and shape.
– When two figures are congruent, you can slide, flip, or
turn one so that it fits exactly on the other one.
Congruent Figures
• Congruent Polygons have congruent corresponding
parts – their matching sides and angles. When you
name congruent polygons, you must list
corresponding vertices in the same order.
