Definition of Corresponding Sides
Corresponding sides are the sides that are in the same position in any different 2-dimensional shapes. For any two polygons to be congruent, they must have exactly the same shape and size. This means that all their interior angles and their corresponding sides must be the same measure.
What is the meaning of the corresponding sides?
Corresponding sides touch the same two angle pairs. When the sides are corresponding it means to go from one triangle to another you can multiply each side by the same number.
What is an example of corresponding sides?
For example, if one polygon has sequential sides a, b, c, d, and e and the other has sequential sides v, w, x, y, and z, and if b and w are corresponding sides, then side a (adjacent to b) must correspond to either v or x (both adjacent to w).
