Think about the transformation that may have been done to make the first figure look like the second figure.
| Corresponding Sides | Corresponding Angles |
|---|---|
| PQ & WV | ∠R & ∠Z |
| QR & VZ | ∠S & ∠Y |
| RS & ZY | ∠T & ∠X |
| YX & ST | ∠P & ∠W |
| TP & XW | ∠Q & ∠V |
If we draw a vertical line between the two figures, it appears that WVZYX is a reflection of PQRST.
Now we can relate the polygons sides and angles.
| Corresponding Sides | Corresponding Angles |
|---|---|
| PQ & WV | ∠R & ∠Z |
| QR & VZ | ∠S & ∠Y |
| RS & ZY | ∠T & ∠X |
| YX & ST | ∠P & ∠W |
| TP & XW | ∠Q & ∠V |
