Answer:
Explanation:
Answer:
1.) True
2.) False
3.) True
4.) True
5.) True
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Polygons are congruent when they have the same number of sides, and all corresponding sides and interior angles are congruent. The polygons will have the same shape and size, but one may be a rotated, or be the mirror image of the other. Note: This entry deals with the congruence of polygons in general.
2. Polygons with similarity do not have the same size. Two polygons having same shape and their corresponding angles and sides being equal are considered to have congruence. Polygons with congruence do have the same size.
3. This is important when trying to identify congruent polygons because in order for two polygon's to be congruent their parts, which include their sides and their angles, must be the same. Two polygons are congruent if and only if their corresponding Angles are congruent to one another.
4. Two polygons are congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Note: Two sides are congruent if they have the same length and angles are congruent if they have the same measure. We indicate that angles are congruent by putting the same number of slash marks through each angle.
5. The color of the polygons is not considered in deciding whether two polygons are congruent.
