Explanation:

"corresponding" means the items of a pair to be in the same relative place in both triangles. they have the same markings, if applicable.

1.

E - O

C - R

M - M

2. as per the markings

angle E - angle O

angle C - angle R

angle M (EMR) - angle M (CMO)

3. as per the markings

ER - CO

EM - MO

CM - MR

4.

congruent means they have the same size in both triangles.

in this case, as both triangles are congruent (after some twisting and/or rotating both can be laid on top of each other without anything lapping over anywhere), all 3 corresponding pairs of angles are equal and therefore congruent. see 2.

5.

same criteria as for 4.

same length.

all 3 corresponding pairs of sides are equal and therefore congruent. see 3.

6.

EMR and CMO
