Find the measure of the indicated angle.
1. the fourth angle in a quadrilateral containing angles of 100°, 130°, and 75°
55°
2. the third angle of a right triangle with an angle of 60°
30°
3. the supplement of a 35° angle
145°

3. Problem of the Day
The measure of ABC is 14° less than the measure of its complement, CBD. What is the measure of each angle?
mABC = 38°; m CBD = 52°

4. Learn to use properties of congruent figures to solve problems.

5. Vocabulary
correspondence

6. A correspondence is a way of matching up two sets of objects.
If two polygons are congruent, all of their corresponding sides and angles are congruent. In a congruence statement, the vertices in the second polygon are written in order of correspondence with the first polygon.

7. Additional Example 1A: Writing Congruent Statements
Write a congruence statement for the pair of polygons.
The first triangle can be named triangle ABC. To complete the congruence statement, the vertices in the second triangle have to be written in order of the correspondence.
Q, so A corresponds to Q.
R, so B corresponds to R.
P, so C corresponds to P.
The congruence statement is triangle triangle QRP.

8. Additional Example 1B: Writing Congruent Statements
Write a congruence statement for the pair of polygons.
The vertices in the first pentagon are written in order around the pentagon starting at any vertex.
 M, so D corresponds to M.
 N, so E corresponds to N.
 O, so F corresponds to O.
 P, so G corresponds to P.
Q, so H corresponds to Q.
The congruence statement is pentagon pentagon MNOPQ.

B. Find b.
6b = 30 YX
6b = 30
Divide both sides by 6.
b = 5

13. Additional Example 2C: Using Congruence Relationships to Find Unknown Values
In the figure, quadrilateral quadrilateral JKLM.
C. Find c.
5c = 85 V
5c = 85
Divide both sides by 5.
c = 17

14. Try This: Example 2A
In the figure, quadrilateral quadrilateral QRST.
