Answer 1

If two figures are congruent, the following statements will be true:

1. The figures will have the same angle measurements.
2. The perimeters of the figures will be congruent.
3. A series of transformations will take one figure to the other figure.

The other statements are false:

• Corresponding sides will not be congruent. (This is false; corresponding sides of congruent figures are congruent.)
• The figures will not have the same number of sides. (This is false; congruent figures have the same number of sides.)
• The areas of the figures will not be congruent. (This is false; congruent figures have congruent areas.)

So, the true statements are the first three listed above.
