Study Notes
Congruent Triangles
- Congruent triangles have corresponding sides and angles that are equal in measure.
- Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. (CPCTC)
Solving Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles
- Given congruent triangles, find the missing parts by identifying corresponding parts.
- Write corresponding vertices, angles and sides.
- Use CPCTC to solve for unknown values
- Substitute values into equations, and solve for unknown variables (x or y).
- Find the missing angles and sides.
- Match corresponding sides and angles.
