    Proofs Involving CPCTC How to fix your car... Okay, remember that to use CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent), it's like saying that the carburetor from a ‘57 Chevy will be the same as the carburetor from another '57 Chevy. But, if you have two carburetors from two unknown cars, who knows if they are same or not? Okay, maybe a experienced mechanic could tell, but not me So remember... BEFORE YOU USE CPCTC YOU MUST PROVE THAT THE TRIANGLES IN QUESTION ARE CONGRUENT FIRST!!! Let's analyze a couple of these, and then we will get to pra Ex.1 Given: AB=1 A D: Ic IF Prove: 2C=ZF Statements Reasons 1. Given 2. Given 3. Given 4.SAS 5. CPCTC Ex. 2. Given: GAIT], 21GJ=ZHJG H Prove: IG=AJ Statements Reasons 1. GAT 1. Given 2. Given 3. LHGJ=2IJG 6. CPCTC ©2010 —wwwiletspracticegeometry.com Analysis: Working backwards, the statement "Prove: 2C=2F" begs the key question "How can we show two segments from two different triangles are congruent?" ‘The answer? CPCTC. This means that if we can prove the triangles are congruent then ZC&ZF because they are corresponding parts of congruent triangles. So B1: ZC=ZF by CPCTC. This then begs the second key question, "How can I show two triangles are congruent?" This means B2 will be AABC2ADEF by some congruence property. Which one? Now we work forward and see we have AB=DE, ZA=ZD, and AC=DF which are all given, This means AAB! DEF, which is B2, and the proof is complete. Analysis: Working backwards, the statement "Prove: [G=! begs the key question "How can we show two segments from two different triangles are congruent?" The answer? CPCTC. This means that if ‘we can prove the triangles are congruent then iG=H] because they are corresponding parts of congruent triangles. So B1 {G=Aj by CPCTC. This then begs the second key question, "How can I show two triangles are congruent?" This means B2 will be AlG)=AHJG by some congruence property. Which one? Now we work forward and see we have GHijI], and 2IGJ=ZHJG, Given. We know when we see parallel 3. Alternate Interior lines we look for alternate interior or corresponding fe Property angles. We have alternate interior angles 2HGJ~2IJG. We also have GJ as a shared side. This means AIGJ=AHIJG by ASA, which is B2, and the proof is complete. Write an analysis of each proof below. 1.
