Transcript of CONGRUENT TRIANGLES First, let’s start with congruent polygons (general). What makes two polygons...
CONGRUENT TRIANGLES• First, let’s start with congruent polygons (general). What makes two
polygons congruent?
• ALL of the parts of one polygon are congruent to the corresponding parts of the other polygon.
• Parts: angles and sides
• What does corresponding mean?
CONGRUENT TRIANGLES• Two triangles are congruent if and only if their corresponding parts are
congruent.
• How else could we say these two triangles are congruent? (make a congruence statement)
Valid congruence statements for congruent polygons must list corresponding vertices in the same order!!!!
CPCTC• CPCTC: Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent
• If two polygons are congruent, then their corresponding parts are congruent.• If corresponding parts of polygons are congruent, then the polygons are
congruent.
• We can use this to say triangles are congruent if all corresponding parts are congruent
