Question

Completing Statements about Congruent Triangles
Given that ΔJKL ≅ ΔUVW and ΔUVW ≅ ΔABC, complete the following statements.

Triangle JKL is congruent to triangle
.

Side LK corresponds to sides
.

Angle JLK corresponds to angles
.

Answer 1

From the two congruences we get the correspondence
J → U → A, K → V → B, L → W → C.

So:

- Triangle JKL is congruent to triangle ABC.
- Side LK corresponds to WV (in ΔUVW) and to CB (in ΔABC).
- Angle JLK corresponds to ∠UWV (in ΔUVW) and to ∠ACB (in ΔABC).
