Solving Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles

Solving corresponding parts of congruent triangles require knowledge that two

triangles are congruent if their vertices can be paired so that the corresponding sides are
congruent and corresponding angles are congruent.

For examples 1 – 3, refer to the figure at the right.

A

Given ∆ TIP ≅ ∆ RAY

T 450 I

Example 1. What is the measure of ∠ R?

Answer: First, find ∠ T.
∠ T = 1800 – 450 – 750
75 0
∠ T = 600
Secondly, identify the congruent angles. P
Given: ∆ TIP ≅ ∆ RAY R
Y then, ∠ T ≅ ∠ R, ∠ I ≅ ∠ A and ∠ P ≅ ∠ Y.
Example 1
Since, ∠ T ≅ ∠ R and ∠ T = 600 Answer:
therefore, ∠ R = 600 Ang sukat ng angle T ay makukuha sa
pamamagitan ng pag subtract ng sukat nung
dalawang angle na may sukat (yung angle I at angle
P) sa 180 degrees. Ang kabuuang sukat ng
pinagsamang sukat ng tatlong angle ng triangle ay
Example 2. What is the measure of ∠ A? 180 degrees.
Dahil ang ∠ T ≅ ∠ R at ∠ T = 600, kaya ang
Answer: From example no.1, ∠ I ≅ ∠ A
sukat ng ∠ R ay 600 din.
since ∠ I = 450,
therefore, ∠ A = 450
Example 2
Answer:
Example 3. What is the value of x? Batay sa figure sa itaas, ang ∠ I ≅ ∠ A, ang
Answer: sukat ng ∠ I = 450, kaya ang sukat ng ∠ A = 450

From example no.2, ∠ I = 450.

in the figure ∠ A = (3x)0 Example 3
by transitive property, 3x0 = 450 Answer:
multiply both sides of the equation by 1/3 Dahil ang ∠ I ≅ ∠ A, gamit ang transitive
we get, property e equate ang dalawang value (3x0 = 450)
x = 15 tapos e multiply natin ang equation both sides ng
1 1
1/3 [ 3
( 3 x =45 ) ]
3
o pwede rin e divide natin

3 x 45
both sides by 3 ( = ), ang magiging sagot
3 3
po ay x = 15

For examples 4 – 6, refer to the figure at the right.

Given: ∆ WIN ≅ ∆ SIM

Example 4. What is the measure of ℑ?

Answer: First, identify the congruent sides
Given: ∆ WIN ≅ ∆ SIM
then,
WI ≅ SI , ¿̅ ≅ ℑand WN ≅ SM
Since, ¿ ≅ ℑand ¿̅ = 10 in
therefore ℑ= 10 in
Example 5. What is the measure of x?
Example 4
Answer:
Batay sa figure sa itaas, ang dalawang triangle
ay congruent. Kaya ang mga corresponding
parts ay WI ≅ SI , ¿̅ ≅ ℑ at WN ≅ SM . Ang
sukat ng ¿ ay 10 inches kaya ang sukat ng
kanyang corresponding side na ℑ ay 10
inches din.

Answer: Since x is in SM , and the

corresponding side of SM is WN Example 5
Answer:
Then, SM = 6x and WN = 24,
Mapapansin na ang x ay makikita sa SM
where, SM = WN ,
, at ang kanyang corresponding side ay
therefore, 6x = 24,
multiply both sides of the equation by 1/6 WN . Ang sukat ng SM ay 6x at ang WN ay
we get, 24 at dahil SM = WN , kaya 6x = 24, e
x = 4. multiply natin both sides sa 1/6 o di kaya ay
divide both sides sa 6 dahil ang number na
kasama ng x aya 6, ang magiging value ng
x = 4.
Example 6. What is the value of y?

Answer: Since y is in WI ,, and the

corresponding side of WI ,is SI ,.
Then, WI ,= 5y – 12 and SI ,= 18
where, WI ,= SI ,
therefore, 5y – 12 = 18,
add 12 in both sides of the equation,
5y = 30
then multiply both sides of the
equation by 1/5
we get,
y = 6.
For examples 7 – 9, refer to the figure at the right.

Example 7. What is the value of ∠ T?

Answer: From the figure, ∠ T ≅ ∠ M,

2 |7
since, ∠ M = 340,
therefore, ∠ T = 340.
 Example 8. What is the value of AM ?
Answer: From the figure, AM ≅ HT ,
since, HT = 61 cm,
therefore, AM = 61 cm.
Example 9. Find the value of z.
Answer: Since z is in KT , and the
corresponding side of KT is KM .
Then, KT = 3z + 5 and KM = 50
where, KT = KM
therefore, 3z + 5 = 50
add (– 5) in both sides of the equation, 3z = 45
then multiply both sides of the equation by 1/3
we get,
z = 15.

Example 10. If the corresponding angles of Example 10

congruent triangles measures (8x – 17)0
and (2x + 55)0. What is the value of x?
Answer: Corresponding angles of congruent
triangles are equal.
Therefore, 8x – 17 = 2x + 55,
adding – 2x in both sides of the equation, we
get 6x – 17 = 55
then, adding 17 in both sides, derive 6x = 72,
by multiplying 1/6 in both sides,
we get,
x = 12.
Answer:
Ang corresponding angles ng
congruent triangles ay equal o my
parehas na sukat. Kaya maaari nating i-
equate ang dalawang value na ibinigay
8x – 17 = 2x + 55, pagkatapos ay maari
nating e add ang -2x sa magkabilang
panig (8x – 17+ (-2x) = 2x + 55+ (- 2x)),
ang magiging sagot ay 6x – 17 = 55,
pagkatpos nito i-add naman natin ang 17
sa magkabilang panig ng equation (6x –
17+ 17 = 55+ 17), ang sagot ay 6x = 72,
i-multiply both sides sa 1/6 o divide both
sides sa 6 ang magiging sagot ay
x = 12.

REFLECTION
During this COVID-19 pandemic, we loss of the way things do usually. We express our
sadness and stress about not being able to go to school, socialize, see a friend, with
neighbors and family, or worship collectively. To avoid over thinking and help you remove
your stress, list down at least five healthy ways to cope up with your present situation. (Sa
panahon ngayon ng COVID- 19, hindi na natin nagagawa ang mga bagay na kalimitan
nating nagagawa dati. Pinapahayag natin ang ating kalungkutan at stress tungkol sa hindi
pagpasok sa eskwelahan, makipaghalubilo, makita ang mga kaibigan, makasama ang mga
kamag- anak, o makasamba. Para maiwasan ang sobrang pag- iisip at matutulungan kayo
na matanggal ang inyong stress, ilista sa ibaba ang at least limang malusog na
pamamaraan para makaya mo ang kasalukuyang sitwasyon.)
