Congruence, Triangles & CPCTC

Congruence, Triangles & CPCTC. Congruent Triangles. Congruent triangles have congruent sides and congruent angles. The parts of congruent triangles that “match” are called corresponding parts. Overlapping sides are congruent in each triangle by the REFLEXIVE property.

  1. Congruence, Triangles & CPCTC

  2. Congruent Triangles Congruent triangles have congruent sides and congruent angles. The parts of congruent triangles that “match” are called corresponding parts.

  3. Overlapping sides are congruent in each triangle by the REFLEXIVE property Alt Int Angles are congruent given parallel lines Vertical Angles are congruent

  4. SSS SAS ASA AAS HL The Only Ways To Prove That Triangles Are Congruent NO BAD WORDS

  5. C Y A B X Z Before we start…let’s get a few things straight INCLUDED ANGLE

  7. On the following slides, we will determine if the triangles are congruent. If they are, write a congruency statement explaining why they are congruent. Then, state the postulate (rule) that you used to determine the congruency.

  17. CPCTCis an abbreviation for the phrase “Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.” It can be used as a justification in a proof after you have proven two triangles congruent because by definition, corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

  18. The Basic Idea: Given Information • SSS • SAS • ASA • AAS • HL Prove Triangles Congruent CPCTC Show Corresponding Parts Congruent

  19. Remember! SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and HLuse corresponding parts to prove triangles congruent. CPCTC uses congruent triangles to prove corresponding parts congruent.

  21. B K A C J L BC  KL Example continued ABC  JKL What other angles are congruent? B  K and C  L What other side is congruent?

  22. B K A C J L BC  KL Example continued ABC  JKL Why? CPCTC What other angles are congruent? B  K and C  L What other side is congruent?

  23. Proofs • 1) Ask: to show angles or segments congruent, what triangles must be congruent? • 2) Prove triangles congruent, (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS) • 4) CPCTC to show angles or segments are congruent .
