1. Geometry/Trig 2 Name __________________________ 4-1 CPCTC Date ___________________________ Definition of Congruent: ___________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Definition of Congruent Triangles: ____________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Recall: ________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Write the converse to the above definition of Congruent Triangles Converse: ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ From this definition of congruent triangles, we can determine that ___________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Or _____________ So if you know triangles are congruent, ________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Your justification (or reason) would be _____________ . Example 1: When describing congruent polygons, vertices are listed in order of correspondence. B Y ABC  XYZ BCA  _____ CBA  _____ ACB  _____ A C X Z Examples: The figures are congruent. Write two statements that describe the congruence. Diagram: Diagram: 2) ABC  _____ 3) FGH  _____ BAC  _____ HFG  _____
