The naming convention in a congruence statement is very specific.
m∠ M = m∠ X
Practice makes perfect
To complete the statement, we have to pair m∠ M with its congruent corresponding angle in △ XYZ. We can do that by examining the statement △ XYZ ≅ △ MNL. The naming convention in a congruence statement is very specific. Corresponding vertices have to be presented in the same order.
△ XYZ ≅ △ MNL
Since they are both in the center position, ∠ M and ∠ X have to be corresponding angles. This means, for the triangles to be congruent, ∠ M and ∠ X must also be congruent making their measures equal.
m∠ M = m∠ X
