If ΔMNO≅ΔXYZ, then what corresponding parts are congruent?

Bearclaws72:

∠M and ∠Z segment MN and segment ZX ∠N and ∠Y segment NO and segment Y

Bearclaws72:

@Vocaloid Any idea? :/

Vocaloid:

use the order of the letters in each triangle name to determine which angles/sides match up for example, M is the first letter in the first triangle and Z is the third letter, these are not corresponding so A does not work

Vocaloid:

<N and <Y are both the second letter in their respective triangle names so these angles are corresponding angles

Vocaloid:

using a similar line of logic, try to determine which segments are corresponding based on the positions/orders of the letters within the triangle name

Bearclaws72:

Dammit t give me no notifications XD

Vocaloid:

still there?

Bearclaws72:

Yah yah Sorry

Bearclaws72:

So basically its sorta like a pattern?

Vocaloid:

yeah ^^ if this doesn't work for you, you can always just sketch the two triangles

Vocaloid:

just sketch two identical triangles and order the vertices in the same order each time for example:

Vocaloid:

|dw:1512523741534:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1512523756957:dw|

Bearclaws72:

oh alright

Vocaloid:

|dw:1512523778913:dw| then it becomes very easy to see which sides are corresponding esp w/ those markings

Vocaloid:

|dw:1512523822587:dw|

Bearclaws72:

Makes sense

Vocaloid:

so if I'm correct it is C and D gn

Bearclaws72:

Gn
