Exercise 54 Page 99

Congruent? Yes.
Flowchart: See solution.

Practice makes perfect
Examining the diagram, we see that AC and DF have the same length as AB and DE. Therefore, we have two pairs of congruent sides. We also see that angles ∠ CAB and ∠ FDE have the same measure, which makes them congruent too.

We have two sides and the included angle in △ ABC that are congruent to corresponding parts in △ DEF. Therefore, by the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Congruence Theorem △ ABC and △ DEF are congruent. Let's show this as a flowchart.
