Because ΔABC is congruent to ΔA′B′C′, we know that the corresponding side lengths are equal and corresponding angle measures are equal.

a)  A′C′ = AC = 13                              b)  AB = A′B′ = 10.6
c)  m∡C^′A^′B^′  =  m∡CAB = 60°        d)  m∡ACB  =  m∡A^′C^′B^′ = 50°
e)  The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. Since m∡BAC = 60° and m∡ACB = 50°, m∡ABC = 180° – 60° – 50° = 70°.
