A. Introduction 5 minutes Now that you have learned the different triangle congruence postulates (SAS, ASA,
SSS) and how to use them to illustrate congruent triangles, we will now use these postulates
to prove that the other corresponding parts of the two congruent triangles are congruent.
This is known as CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent).
We are going to use these concepts in solving for the corresponding parts of congruent
triangles.

B. Development 40 minutes
Given ΔABC ≅ ΔKLM by ASA Triangle Postulate, then it follows that:

i. 𝐴𝐶തതതത ≅ തതതതത
𝐾𝑀 Corresponding Parts
ii. തതതത
𝐵𝐶 ≅ തതതത
𝐿𝑀 of Congruent
iii.  C ≅  M Triangles are
Congruent (CPCTC)

From the statements above, it follows that the lengths of the corresponding sides and the
measures of the corresponding angles of ΔABC and ΔKLM are equal. Therefore,

AB = KL m A = m K

AC = KM mB = mL

BC = LM mC = mM.

Examples:
1. Solve for the measure of the missing parts of congruent triangles.

Given ΔTOP ≅ ΔMID Solutions:

𝑀𝐼 ≅ 𝑇𝑂 𝐷𝑀 ≅ 𝑃𝑇
MI = TO DM = PT
MI = 12 cm DM = 9cm

𝐷𝐼 ≅ 𝑃𝑂
DI = PO
DI = 15 cm

Since  T and  M are right angles, then they are equal (all right angles measure 90 0).
And to solve for the measures of the remaining angles,

I ≅O  D≅P Note: The sum of the angles of a triangle is 1800.

m I = m O m D = m P m P = 1800 – (900+370)
m I = 370 m D = 530 m P = 1800 - 1270
m P = 530

2. Given: ΔSAP ≅ ΔLET, solve for the value of x and y.

തതതത ≅ 𝐿𝐸
𝑆𝐴 തതതത 𝑆𝑃
തതതത ≅ ത𝐿𝑇
തതത
SA = LE SP = LT
x + 15 = 31 29 = y – 4
x = 31 – 15 29 + 4 = y
x = 16 33 = y

C. Engagement 30 minutes Learning Task I.

1. Given ΔABC ≅ ΔXYZ, solve for the angles and sides of ΔXYZ.

2. Given ΔJPO ≅ ΔSMR, solve for the values of v, w, x, y and z.

D. Assimilation 30 minutes Given ΔART ≅ ΔHOP, if mR = 540 and mT = 730, HO = 15cm, AT = 10cm.

1. Illustrate the two triangles.

2. What angles of ΔHOP have a measure of 530 and a measure of 540?
3. Identify the sides with measures equal to HO and AT.
