When two triangle are written this way, ABC and DEF, it means that vertex A corresponds with vertex D, vertex B with vertex E, and so on. This means that side CA, for example, corresponds to side FD; it also means that angle BC, that angle included in sides B and C, corresponds to angle EF. These relationships aren't especially important when triangles aren't congruent or similar. But when they are congruent, the one-to-one correspondence of triangles determines which angles and sides are congruent.
When a triangle is said to be congruent to another triangle, it means that the corresponding parts of each triangle are congruent. By proving the congruence of triangles, we can show that polygons are congruent, and eventually make conclusions about the real world.

Answer:
The word corresponding refers to parts that match between two congruent triangles. You can identify corresponding angles and corresponding sides. First, name the corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are matching angles between the two triangles.
