4-4 Using Congruent Triangles- CPCTC. C orresponding P arts of C ongruent T riangles are C ongruent.
E N D
Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent *With SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS, we know how to use three parts of triangles to show that the triangles are congruent. Once we have triangles congruent, we can make conclusions about the other parts because by definition, corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
