Definition

Corresponding sides are sides that are in the same relative position in different geometric figures.

Description

Corresponding sides are a key concept in understanding the properties of similar and congruent figures. For example, in similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional. This concept is used in various geometric proofs and applications, such as determining the scale factor between similar figures. Understanding corresponding sides helps in solving problems related to the dimensions and properties of geometric shapes.
