Please refer to the figure attached.
<span>Corresponding angles are congruent (same measure) So in the figure above, the angle P=P', Q=Q', and R=R'.
<span>
Corresponding sides are all in the same proportion. Above, PQ is twice the length of P'Q'. Therefore, the other pairs of sides are also in that proportion.</span></span>
