Definition of Correspondence
- Pairing the parts of one group to the parts
of another group is called correspondence.
Correspondence uses the notation “↔ ”.
Assume 𝛥𝑁𝐴𝑇 coincides with 𝛥𝐺𝐸𝑂, such that the vertices of 𝛥𝑁𝐴𝑇 fit
exactly over the vertices of 𝛥𝐺𝐸𝑂 . The correspondence can be created
between triangles.
• In naming congruent triangles, the order of the
letters representing the vertices of one triangle
shall be written in the same order as their
corresponding vertices in the other triangle.
