Question

question 1 of 10
you can find the ____________ parts of two congruent triangles by aligning them perfectly on top of each other.

a. complementary
b. supplementary
c. corresponding
d. similar

Explanation:

• Complementary: Refers to angles that add up to \(90^{\circ}\), not related to congruent triangle parts.
• Supplementary: Refers to angles that add up to \(180^{\circ}\), not related to congruent triangle parts.
• Corresponding: When two congruent triangles are aligned (superimposed), their matching (corresponding) parts (sides and angles) are identified.
• Similar: Similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. Congruent triangles are a special case of similar triangles (\(scale - factor = 1\)), but the key word here is about congruent triangles and alignment for part - identification.

Answer:

C. corresponding
