Corresponding Parts of

Congruent Triangles
Learning Targets: I can…

Examine claims and make explicit use of definitions to

support formal proof and justification of congruence
relationships

Follow others’ reasoning in describing alternate rigid

motions that lead to the same congruence conclusion.

Justify claims of congruence in terms of rigid motions,

understand alternate reasoning.

Make explicit use of definitions, symbols, and notation

with lines, angles, triangles, and parallelograms.
Warm Up: Which congruency I
statement(s) (SSS, SAS, ASA, or AAS)
could you use to prove that the two
triangles in each figure are congruent?
 G/C

Discuss your reasoning for each

decision with your table groups

the whole class
Notes: Corresponding Parts of C
Congruent Triangles are Congruent

Definition:

➔ CPCTC is usually used at (or near) the end of a proof

asking to show two sides or angles are congruent.

➔ Once two triangles have been proven as congruent

(or we are told they are), then the three pairs of sides
and angles that correspond must be congruent too.
