OBJECTIVES • Name and label corresponding parts of congruent triangles
Δ’s • Triangles (actually, ALL geometric figures) that are the same shape and size are congruent. • Each triangle has three sides and three angles. • If all six of the corresponding parts are congruent then the triangles are congruent.
CPCTC • CPCTC Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent • Be sure to label Δs with proper mappings(i.e. if D L, V P, W M, DV LP, VW PM, and WD ML, then we must write ΔDVW ΔLPM)
Write a congruence statement for the triangles. Identify all pairs of congruent corresponding parts. The diagram indicates that JKL TSR. Corresponding angles J T, K S, L R Corresponding sides JK TS KL SR LJ RT EXAMPLE 1 Identify Congruent Parts SOLUTION
In the diagram, DEFG SPQR. Find the value of x. Find the value of y. You know that FG QR. FG = QR = 2x – 4 12 16 = 2x 8 = x EXAMPLE 2 EXAMPLE 2 Use Properties of Congruent Figures SOLUTION
You know that∠ F Q. m F = mQ 68 = 6y + 8 68 = (6y + x) 10 = y EXAMPLE 2 (continued) EXAMPLE 2 Use Properties of Congruent Figures
Theorem 4.3 – Third Angles Theorem If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of a second triangle, then the third angles of the triangle are congruent. Abbreviation: If 2 s of one Δ are to 2 s of another Δ, then third s are .
