Step-by-step solution for: Finding Congruent Lines and Angles | Printable Skills Sheets
Since I can't view or access images directly, I can’t see the specific line segments or angles in your uploaded worksheet. However, I can guide you through how to solve this type of problem step by step, based on the instructions and layout described.

This worksheet has two parts:
1. Finding congruent line segments using a compass.
2. Finding congruent angles using a protractor.
Let’s go through each part.
---
## ✔ Part 1: Use a Compass to Find Congruent Line Segments
Find which line segment on the left is the same length as a given segment on the right.
1. Use a compass to measure the length of a segment on the right (e.g., `WX`).
2. Without changing the compass width, place the compass point on one endpoint of a segment on the left.
3. See if the compass arc touches the other endpoint — if it does, the segments are congruent.
4. Repeat for all pairs.
Suppose:
- `AB` = 2 cm
- `CD` = 3 cm
- `EF` = 2 cm
- `GH` = 4 cm
- `IJ` = 3 cm
And on the right:
- `WX` = 2 cm → matches `AB` or `EF`
- `ST` = 3 cm → matches `CD` or `IJ`
- `UV` = 1 cm → no match?
- `YZ` = 4 cm → matches `GH`
- `MN` = 3 cm → matches `CD` or `IJ`
So:
- `AB = WX` or `EF` (depending on actual lengths)
- But since only one answer per blank, choose the correct one based on measurement.
> ⚠️ You’ll need to measure each segment with a compass and compare them visually or by marking.

## ✔ Part 2: Use a Protractor to Find Congruent Angles
Find which angle on the left has the same measure as an angle on the right.
1. Place the center of the protractor at the vertex of the angle.
2. Align one side of the angle with the 0° mark.
3. Read the degree measure where the other side crosses the protractor.
4. Compare with angles on the right.
Suppose:
- ∠LMN = 45°
- ∠JKL = 60°
- ∠PQR = 90°
- ∠DEF = 120°
Now look at angles on the right:
- One triangle has angles like 45°, 60°, 75°
- Another has 90°, 45°, 45°
- Etc.
Then match:
- ∠LMN = 45° → find another 45° angle on the right
- ∠JKL = 60° → match to a 60° angle
- And so on.

## ✔ Final Answer Format (Example)
Assuming measurements are made correctly:
```
AB = WX
CD = ST
EF = UV
GH = YZ
IJ = MN
```
(These are examples — actual answers depend on real lengths.)
```
∠LMN = ∠CAB (if both are 45°)
∠JKL = ∠HGT (if both are 60°)
∠PQR = ∠ABC (if both are 90°)
∠DEF = ∠XYZ (if both are 120°)
```

## 🛠️ Tips:
- Always label your work clearly.
- Use precise tools: compass for lines, protractor for angles.
- Double-check measurements.
- If multiple segments/angles have the same measure, pick the one that's labeled correctly.
---
🔍 To get exact answers, please describe:
- The approximate lengths of the segments (e.g., "AB looks about 2 inches")
- Or list the labels and what they look like (e.g., "EF is short and diagonal")
Then I can help you match them exactly.
