Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line intersects two others. Corresponding sides are sides that are in the same position in similar polygons, such as in similar triangles.

Corresponding angles are angles that occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two other lines. Corresponding sides are the sides of two figures that are in the same relative position in terms of the vertices they connect. In other words, corresponding angles and sides are found in similar geometric figures, such as congruent triangles or similar polygons.

Sophia Alfred

Corresponding angles and sides are pairs of angles and sides that occupy similar positions in congruent or similar geometric figures. In congruent figures, corresponding angles have the same measure, and corresponding sides have the same length. In similar figures, corresponding angles have the same measure, but corresponding sides are proportional in length.

Answer from HIX Tutor

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
