Polygon Congruence Postulate:Two polygons are congruent if and only if there is a correspondence between their sides and angles such that:
1. Each pair of corresponding angles is congruent.
2. Each pair of corresponding sides is congruent.homework
Holt Geometry
Congruent Triangles
Geometric figures are congruent if they are the same size and shape.
Two polygons are congruent polygons if and only if their corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Thus polygons that are the same size and shape are congruent.

Holt Geometry
Congruent TrianglesA correspondence is a way of matching up two sets of objects.
To write a congruence statement, the vertices in the second polygon have to be written in order of correspondence with the first polygon. homework

In the diagram, ΔITP ΔNGO. Find the values of x and y.
y = 9
x – 2y = 7.5
6y = 54 x – 2(9) = 7.5
x = 25.5
x – 18 = 7.5
Answer: x = 25.5, y = 9
