Corresponding

Proportion

The corresponding is that which corresponds to something or someone.

Corresponding is an adjective that refers to that which satisfies the conditions of a relationship , as explained in the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) . The term also allows us to name what corresponds to a person or an institution and what is proportionate or appropriate .

For example: “To collect the refund, it is necessary to present the last invoice with the corresponding stamp from the Ministry of Energy” , “I am selling a guitar with its corresponding case at a very good price” , “Please look for the box corresponding to those shoes.”

The notion, therefore, is linked to the verb correspond , which refers to what is proportional to something else or to the action of paying affections or benefits with equality .

Examples of use of the corresponding term

If we talk about a violin with its corresponding case, we are referring to a musical instrument that is protected with a certain case. This means that violin X has case W , and not case A or case S.

A musician who agrees to compose and perform a song for a children's program for 500 pesos must collect said sum once his work is completed. Therefore, it can be said that said musician will receive 500 pesos corresponding to his work .

A type of academic

Within the academic field, we also have to say that the term that we are now analyzing is used. Thus, it is common to use the expression corresponding academics , which refers to the members of a corporation who do not have their residence in the city or country where it has its headquarters. This situation of being outside the city means that these men and women collaborate with the aforementioned entity through various remote systems such as through correspondence.

An example of this is found in the Royal Academy of History of Spain . Within it, the corresponding academic term was created in the year 1770 and since that moment there have been members with that qualification, reaching our days where it has a total of 370 people who fall under that name.

Password

To access a system, each user has a corresponding password.

Corresponding angles

Nor can we overlook the fact that the concept that we are studying in depth now takes special prominence within the field of mathematics. In your case, it is common to use the idea of ​​corresponding angles , which are those formed in the corners that result from two lines crossing with a third.

We have to say that those aforementioned angles will become equal when precisely those two lines that are going to cross a third, which is transversal, have the particularity of being parallel. That is, when they always remain at the same distance from each other and never meet.

Access key

Another example of the use of this concept is found in logging into a system using a password.

To access the system in question, you must type a certain password that corresponds to the configuration. There is, therefore, a key corresponding to the user. If an incorrect password is entered, the system may report: “Password not applicable” .
