E. What’s In

Let us recall the different triangle congruency postulates and theorems below.
Postulate/Theorem Illustration
SAS Congruence Postulate
(Side–Angle–Side)
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding two sides and included angle of another triangle, then the
triangles are congruent.
ASA Congruence Postulate
(Angle–Side–Angle)
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding two angles and the included side of another triangle, then
the triangles are congruent.
SSS Congruence Postulate
(Side–Side–Side)
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding three
sides of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
AAS Congruence Theorem
(Angle–Angle–Side)
If two angles and the nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to
the corresponding two angles and the nonincluded side of another
triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
In ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶,we can see the following:
hypotenuse Right angle: ∠𝐶
Acute angles: ∠𝐴 and ∠𝐵
Hypotenuse (longest side): ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵
̅̅̅̅̅ and 𝐵𝐶
Legs: 𝐴𝐶 ̅̅̅̅
Note: Hypotenuse is the side opposite the right
angle.
LL Congruence Theorem

If two legs of a right triangle are congruent to two legs of another right
triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
LA Congruence Theorem
(Leg–Angle)
If a leg and an acute angle of a right triangle are congruent to a leg and an
acute angle of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
HL Congruence Theorem
(Hypotenuse–Leg)
If a hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to a hypotenuse
and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
HA Congruence Theorem
(Hypotenuse–Angle)
If a hypotenuse and an angle of a right triangle are congruent to a

From our previous lessons we have learned about congruent triangles and also the different postulates
and theorems that verify the congruency of two triangles. In this module we will be using this knowledge to solve
for the missing parts of congruent triangles.

What’s New

Before we begin our discussion let us first do the activity below. Prepare the following materials: graphing
paper, pencil, ruler and protractor.

Activity: Twinny Triangle

Follow the procedures carefully.

 What is It
Step 1: Get a graphing paper, then pen then plot the following points:
A(2,3), B(5,6), C(9, 3), D(0, -3), E(-3, -6), and F(-7, -3).

Step 2: Connect the first three points to make the first triangle, and do the same for
the last three points to form the second triangle.

Step 3: Get a ruler and measure the sides of the triangles and record the result on your
notebook. Follow the format below.

Step 4: Using a protractor, measure the angles of the two triangles. Record the
measurements on your notebook following the format below.

Note: Watch the video on this link to learn how to use a protractor.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzd_lsNwTOI
Questions:
1. Compare the length of the sides of the two triangles.
2. Relate the measure of the angles of the first triangle with the measure of
the angles of the second triangle. CPCTC is the abbreviation
3. In one word, describe the two triangles. of Corresponding Parts of
You have learned that if two triangles are congruent, their corresponding parts Congruent Triangles are
are also congruent as stated by the CPCTC. This means that the sides of the Congruent.
first triangle have the same lengths as the sides of the second triangle and the
angles of the first triangle have also the same measurements with the angles
of the other triangle.
From our previous activity we can say that ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ ∆𝐷𝐸𝐹, because the corresponding sides and
corresponding angles of the two triangles have equal measurements.

Congruent Sides Congruent Angles

̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝐷𝐸
𝐴𝐵 ̅̅̅̅ ∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝐷
̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝐸𝐹
𝐵𝐶 ̅̅̅̅ ∠𝐵 ≅ ∠𝐸
̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝐷𝐹
𝐴𝐶 ̅̅̅̅ ∠C ≅ ∠F
Remember that congruence means having the same
shape and/or the same size. Therefore, from our previous example we can say that:

if ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝐷𝐸 , then 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐷𝐸;
Reading the symbols:
if ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐶 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝐸𝐹 , then 𝐵𝐶 = 𝐸𝐹; and
̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝐷𝐹
̅̅̅̅ , then 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐷𝐹. ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝐷𝐸
if 𝐴𝐶
Side AB is congruent to side DE.
Also, 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐷𝐸
if ∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝐷, then 𝑚∠𝐴 = 𝑚∠𝐷; AB is equal to DE.
if ∠𝐵 ≅ ∠𝐸, then 𝑚∠𝐵 = 𝑚∠𝐸; and ∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝐷
if ∠𝐶 ≅ ∠𝐹, then 𝑚∠𝐶 = 𝑚∠𝐹 Angle A is congruent to angle D.
𝑚∠𝐴 = 𝑚∠𝐷
Measure of angle A is equal to the
4 measure of angle D.
*** Note: We know that ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐴 is the same as ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵, but for congruent triangles or polygons, corresponding vertices
(such as A & D and B & E), must be in order. Therefore, instead of writing ̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐴 ≅ 𝐷𝐸 ̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝐷𝐸
, we write 𝐴𝐵 ̅̅̅̅

REMINDER: Take note of how the symbols are used in writing these
mathematical statements.
For the sides of the triangle:
*You have learned that a line segment is denoted using a horizontal line above
its name (example: ̅̅̅̅𝐴𝐵), but notice that this line is omitted if we are already
referring to the length of the line segment or side (example: 𝐴𝐵 = 2𝑐𝑚 ).

For the angles of the triangle:

*You use the symbol ∠ before the name of the angle to refer to the angle itself
(example: ∠𝐴 or ∠𝐶𝐴𝐵), but you use the notation 𝒎∠ before the name of the
angle to indicate the measure of the angle (example: 𝑚∠𝐴 = 60 or 𝑚∠𝐶𝐴𝐵=60).

Also, you use the symbol ≅ to indicate the congruency of the polygon (or parts of the polygon) and
not to assert equality.

Therefore, you cannot write

̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝐷𝐸 and 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐷𝐸 as ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵 = ̅̅̅̅
𝐷𝐸 and 𝐴𝐵 ≅ 𝐷𝐸
or
∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝐷 and 𝑚∠𝐴 = 𝑚∠𝐷 as ∠𝐴 = ∠𝐷 and 𝑚∠𝐴 ≅ 𝑚∠𝐷 .

Before going through the examples, read first the steps in finding the missing parts of congruent triangles.

Steps in solving for the corresponding parts of congruent triangles.

Step 1: Draw the triangles (if not provided) and label the parts; then write the given measurements.
Step 2: Verify if the given pair of triangles are congruent (if the congruency of the triangles is not yet established)
and indicate the postulate/theorem. If needed, recall other concepts, postulates, or theorems to identify
congruent parts.
Step 3: Determine the corresponding parts.
Step 4: Identify the missing parts using the given parts.

Illustrative Example 1.
Find the measure of the indicated parts.

a. ̅̅̅̅
𝐼𝑁
b. ̅̅̅
𝐼𝐾
c. ∠𝑀
d. ∠𝑈

Solution:
Step 1. The illustration is not needed since the figure is already given.
Step 2. By looking at the marks we can say that the two triangles are congruent by ASA Postulate.
Step 3. You will see below the list of corresponding parts.

Step 4. By CPCTC, we already claim that the corresponding parts listed in the table
are congruent and have equal measurements.

Solution for d: properties of
𝑚∠𝐼 + 𝑚∠𝑁 + 𝑚∠𝐾 = 180 equality which
60 + 𝑚∠𝑁 + 70 = 180 is the transitive
𝑚∠𝑁 = 180 − 60 − 70 property.
𝑚∠𝑁 = 50
According to
Since 𝑚∠𝑁 = 50, then 𝑚∠𝑈 = 50
this property:
***Note: The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180°.
Illustrative Example 2. If a=b and b=c,
then a=c.
Given: ∆𝐻𝑂𝑇 ≅ ∆𝑃𝐼𝐸, 𝐻𝑂 = 𝑥 + 3, 𝑂𝑇 = 7𝑥 − 1, 𝐻𝑇 = 5𝑥 + 2, and 𝑃𝐸 = 2𝑥 + 5.
Find 𝑥, 𝐻𝑇 and 𝐼𝐸.
Solution:
Step 1. The given may be illustrated as below.

Step 2. We may skip this step since the congruency of triangles ∆𝐻𝑂𝑇and ∆𝑃𝐼𝐸 is already established.
Step 3. Since we are only looking for the sides of the triangle, then we will Corresponding Sides
just determine the corresponding sides.
Step 4. Solving for 𝑥, 𝐻𝑇, and 𝐼𝐸. ̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅
𝐻𝑂 ↔ 𝑃𝐼
Since ̅̅̅̅
𝐻𝑇 ↔ ̅̅̅̅
𝑃𝐸 , then 𝐻𝑇 = 𝑃𝐸.
From the given, 𝐻𝑇 = 5𝑥 + 2 and 𝑃𝐸 = 2𝑥 + 5. ̅̅̅̅
𝑂𝑇 ↔ ̅̅̅
𝐼𝐸
Therefore, 5𝑥 + 2 = 2𝑥 + 5
5𝑥 − 2𝑥 = 5 − 2 ̅̅̅̅
𝐻𝑇 ↔ ̅̅̅̅
𝑃𝐸
3𝑥 = 3
3𝑥 3
=
3 3
𝑥=1
To solve for 𝐻𝑇, we just substitute the value of x in 5x+2, since 𝐻𝑇 = 5𝑥 + 2.
𝐻𝑇 = 5𝑥 + 2
𝐻𝑇 = 5(1) + 2
𝐻𝑇 = 5 + 2
𝐻𝑇 = 7
To solve for IE, we have to substitute the value of x in 7x-1.
𝐼𝐸 = 𝑂𝑇, 𝑂𝑇 = 7𝑥 − 1, then 𝐼𝐸 = 7𝑥 − 1
𝐼𝐸 = 7𝑥 − 1
𝐼𝐸 = 7(1) − 1
𝐼𝐸 = 7 − 1
𝐼𝐸 = 6
Therefore, 𝒙 = 𝟏, 𝑯𝑻 = 𝟕, and 𝑰𝑬 = 𝟔

Solution:
Step 1. Although an illustration is provided, we may add markings to easily determine the congruent parts.

* As stated in the given, 𝑃𝑁⃡ is the perpendicular

̅̅̅̅
bisector of 𝐴𝐸 . Therefore, point N is the midpoint of
̅̅̅̅ and we can say that that 𝐴𝑁
𝐴𝐸 ̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝐸𝑁
̅̅̅̅.

*By symmetric property, ̅̅̅̅

𝑃𝑁 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝑃𝑁 .

Note: ⃡𝑃𝑁 is perpendicular to ̅̅̅̅

𝐴𝐸 , then the angles
formed, ∠𝐴𝑁𝑃 and ∠𝐸𝑁𝑃, are both right angles.
Thus,
Step 2. Looking at the markings, we can say ∆𝑃𝐴𝑁 and ∆𝑃𝐸𝑁
that ∆𝑃𝐴𝑁 ≅ ∆𝑃𝐸𝑁areby

Theorem.
Step 3. Corresponding Sides Corresponding Angles

̅̅̅̅
𝑃𝐴 ↔ ̅̅̅̅
𝑃𝐸 ∠𝑃𝐴𝑁 ↔ ∠𝑃𝐸𝑁

̅̅̅̅ ↔ 𝐸𝑁
𝐴𝑁 ̅̅̅̅ ∠𝐴𝑁𝑃 ↔ ∠𝐸𝑁𝑃

̅̅̅̅
𝑃𝑁 ↔ ̅̅̅̅
𝑃𝑁 ∠𝑁𝑃𝐴 ↔ ∠𝑁𝑃𝐸

Step 4. Finding the perimeter of ∆𝐸𝑃𝐴.

Notice that ∆𝐸𝑃𝐴 is an isosceles triangle whose legs are ̅̅̅̅
𝑃𝐴 and ̅̅̅̅
𝑃𝐸 , and whose base is ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐸. To get its
perimeter we just need to add these sides (𝑃∆𝐸𝑃𝐴 = 𝑃𝐴 + 𝑃𝐸 + 𝐴𝐸). Since the lengths of the sides are not yet
given, we will still have to solve for their measurements using the triangle congruence.
The congruence of ∆𝑃𝐴𝑁 and ∆𝑃𝐸𝑁 is already established in step 2. Now we can solve for their parts.
̅̅̅̅ ↔ 𝐸𝑁
If 𝐴𝑁 ̅̅̅̅ , then 𝐴𝑁 = 𝐸𝑁.
From the given, 𝐴𝑁 = 6, and 𝐸𝑁 = 2𝑥 −4.
𝐴𝑁 = 𝐸𝑁
6 = 2𝑥 − 4
6 + 4 = 2𝑥
10 = 2𝑥
10 2𝑥

2 2
5 = 𝑥, or 𝑥=5
If 𝐴𝑁 = 6, then 𝑁𝐸 = 6.
By Addition Segment Postulate
𝐴𝐸 = 𝐴𝑁 + 𝑁𝐸
Therefore,
𝐴𝐸 = 6 + 6
Illustrative Example 4.

Given that 𝐴𝐵 is the angle bisector of ∠𝐶𝐴𝐷, ∠𝐴𝐶𝐵 ≅ ∠𝐴𝐷𝐵 , 𝐶𝐴 = 𝑥 + 6, and 𝐷𝐴 = 2𝑥 − 3. Find DA.
Solution:
𝐴𝐸 = 12
Side 𝑃𝐴 = 𝑃𝐸, 𝑃𝐸 = 𝑥 + 3, and 𝑥 = 5.
Substituting the value of x
𝑃𝐸 = 5 + 3
𝑃𝐸 = 8
Also, 𝑃𝐴 = 8

Finally, 𝑃∆𝐸𝑃𝐴 = PA + PE + AE
= 8 + 8 + 12
= 28 (The perimeter of ∆𝐸𝑃𝐴 is 28.)

7
Step 1. The given above may be illustrated as

*∠𝐴𝐶𝐵 ≅ ∠𝐴𝐷𝐵 as stated in the given.

*∠𝐶𝐴𝐵 ≅ ∠𝐷𝐴𝐵 according to the definition
of angle bisector.

* ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵 ≅ ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵 by symmetric property.

Step 2. From the illustration we made, we can say that ∆𝐶𝐴𝐵 ≅ ∆𝐷𝐴𝐵 by AAS Theorem.
Step 3. We can see that only the sides of the triangles are given. Then, we will list only the corresponding
sides.
Corresponding Sides

̅̅̅̅ ↔ 𝐷𝐴
𝐶𝐴 ̅̅̅̅
̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵 ↔ ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐵
̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐶 ↔ ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐷

Step 4. Find DA.

̅̅̅̅ ↔ 𝐷𝐴
Since 𝐶𝐴 ̅̅̅̅, then 𝐶𝐴 = 𝐷𝐴.
𝐶𝐴 = 𝑥 + 6, while 𝐷𝐴 = 2𝑥 − 3.
To solve for x,
𝐶𝐴 = 𝐷𝐴
𝑥 + 6 = 2𝑥 − 3
6 + 3 = 2𝑥 − 𝑥
9= 𝑥 or 𝑥=9
Solving for DA, we just need to substitute the value of x to the expression 2𝑥 − 3.
𝐷𝐴 = 2𝑥 − 3
= 2(9) − 3
= 18 − 3
= 15
Therefore, 𝑫𝑨 = 𝟏𝟓.

Illustrative Example 5.

Find the values of x and y, if 𝑚∠𝑈𝑅𝑂 = 110, 𝑚∠𝐹𝑂𝑌 = 𝑥, 𝑚∠𝑂𝑌𝐹 = 𝑦,

and
𝑚∠𝑅𝑂𝑈 = 𝑦 + 10.
Solution:
Step 1. The illustration is not needed since the figure is already given.
Step 2. Looking at the markings we can see that one pair of angles
(∠𝑂𝐹𝑌 and ∠𝑂𝑅𝑈) and one pair of sides (𝐹𝑂 ̅̅̅̅ & ̅̅̅̅
𝑅𝑂 ) are congruent. In addition, another pair of congruent angles
can be observed, vertical angles ∠𝐹𝑂𝑌 and ∠𝑅𝑂𝑈. Therefore ∆𝐹𝑂𝑌 ≅ ∆𝑅𝑂𝑈 by ASA Theorem.
Step 3. Based on the given and unknown, we may list only the Corresponding Angles
corresponding angles.
∠𝐹𝑂𝑌 ↔ ∠𝑅𝑂𝑈
Step 4.
Since ∠𝐹𝑂𝑌 ↔ ∠𝑅𝑂𝑈, then ∠𝐹𝑂𝑌 ≅ ∠𝑅𝑂𝑈. ∠𝑂𝑌𝐹 ↔ ∠𝑂𝑈𝑅
Thus, 𝑚∠𝐹𝑂𝑌 = 𝑚∠𝑅𝑂𝑈
If 𝑚∠𝐹𝑂𝑌 = 𝑥 and 𝑚∠𝑅𝑂𝑈 = 𝑦 + 10 ∠𝑌𝐹𝑂 ↔ ∠𝑈𝑅𝑂
Then, 𝑥 = 𝑦 + 10 (equation 1)
We can say that ∠𝑌𝐹𝑂 ≅ ∠𝑈𝑅𝑂, because ∠𝑌𝐹𝑂 ↔ ∠𝑈𝑅𝑂
Then, 𝑚∠𝑌𝐹𝑂 = 𝑚∠𝑈𝑅𝑂
If 𝑚∠𝑈𝑅𝑂 = 110°, then 𝑚∠𝑌𝐹𝑂 = 110°.
We add the angles of ∆𝐹𝑂𝑌 and equate it to 180.
𝑚∠𝐹𝑂𝑌 + 𝑚∠𝑂𝑌𝐹 + 𝑚∠𝑌𝐹𝑂 = 180
Recall that 𝑚∠𝐹𝑂𝑌 = 𝑥, 𝑚∠𝑂𝑌𝐹 = 𝑦, and 𝑚∠𝑌𝐹𝑂 = 110°
Substituting the value of each angle, we have
𝑥 + 𝑦 + 110 = 180 (equation 2)

8
 Substitute the value of x from equation 1 to the x of equation 2
𝑦 + 10 + 𝑦 + 110 = 180
2𝑦 + 120 = 180
2𝑦 = 180 − 120
2𝑦 = 60
2𝑦 60
=
2 2
𝑦 = 30
To solve for x, we will substitute the value of y in equation 1.
𝑥 = 𝑦 + 10
𝑥 = 30 + 10
𝑥 = 40
Therefore, the values of x and y respectively is 30 and 40.

 What I Can Do

Read the situation below, then answer the questions that follow.
Mary and Mark are planning to make a triangular prism for the roof of their doll house. They have decided
that they will start by doing first the triangular bases. Mary will make one of the triangular bases, while Mark will
do the remaining triangular base.
Looking around the house, Mary found two sticks that are both 8 inches long, while Mark found a longer
stick that is 38 inches long. To form two triangles, Mark has to cut his stick into four smaller pieces, and give one
of the sticks to Mary. In cutting his stick, Mark has to consider the length of Mary’s sticks and the length of the
sides of the triangles that they will make.

Questions:
1. What should be the length of Mark’s sticks after cutting it into four?
2. Give the length of the sides of each triangle.
3. Describe the two triangles in a single word.
