Study Notes

Congruent Triangles

  • Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC).
  • When two triangles are congruent, their vertices can be paired so that corresponding sides and corresponding angles are congruent.

Congruent Triangles Examples

  • ∠N ≅ ∠Z, if ∠N = 28°, then ∠Z = 28°
  • ∠I ≅ ∠E, if ∠I = 92°, then ∠E = 92°
  • ∠M ≅ ∠R, if ∠M = 60°, then ∠R = 60°
  • 𝑁𝐼 ≅ 𝑍𝐸, if 𝑁𝐼 = 4ft, then 𝑍𝐸 = 4ft
  • 𝐼𝑀 ≅ 𝐸𝑅, if 𝐼𝑀 = 3ft, then 𝐸𝑅 = 3ft
  • 𝑀𝑁 ≅ 𝑅𝑍, if 𝑀𝑁 = 4ft, then 𝑅𝑍 = 4ft

Congruent Triangles Properties

  • ∠𝐶 ≅ ∠𝑂, 𝐶𝐴 ≅ 𝑂𝐹, ∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝐹, 𝐴𝐵 ≅ 𝐹𝑋, ∠𝐵 ≅ ∠𝑋, 𝐶𝐵 ≅ 𝑂𝑋

Congruent Triangles Theorems

  • Triangle Sum Theorem: ∠x + 30° + 110° = 180°
  • ∆𝑴𝑨𝑻 ≅ ∆𝑪𝑷𝑼, ∠M ≅ ∠C, ∠A ≅ ∠P, ∠T ≅ ∠U, 𝑀𝐴 ≅ 𝐶𝑃, 𝐴𝑇 ≅ 𝑃𝑈, 𝑀𝑇 ≅ 𝐶𝑈

Solving for Unknowns

  • ∆𝑅𝑂𝑆 ≅ ∆𝐶𝐴𝑁, ∠x = 40°
  • ∆𝑆𝐼𝑇 ≅ ∆𝑅𝑈𝑁, ∠T = ∠N, 2n + 10 = 50, n = 20
  • ∆𝑀𝐴𝑁 ≅ ∆𝐷𝐸𝑁, solve for x

This quiz focuses on identifying corresponding parts of congruent triangles, naming congruent triangles, finding the measure of corresponding parts, and relating triangle congruence to real-life situations. Students will complete a table by providing the missing triangle congruence statements.
