While tooth decay is often the primary cause of a toothache, it's important for you to have a complete oral examination to determine the cause. Other causes of a toothache can include the following: 1  Infection. 2  Gum disease. 3  Grinding teeth (bruxism). 4  Tooth trauma. 5  An abnormal bite.
Thus the formal definition of corresponding sides can be stated as follows: In two or more different plane figures, the sides that are in the same position but in different plane figures are called corresponding sides.
So, corresponding sides and corresponding angles of congruent figures have the same measures. The measures of corresponding angles in similar figures are the same, but the measures of corresponding sides in similar figures are multiples of each other (i.e. they are proportional).
