Let Us Learn
You have learned in the previous lesson about illustrating the SAS, ASA,
and SSS congruence postulate. Now in this module you will learn how to solve
corresponding parts of congruent triangles (M8GE-IIIF-1). Let’s enjoy and have fun
in learning new lesson in this module.

Example 1.
B
E C
Solution: D
The correspondence of the vertices can be used to name the congruent sides and
angles of the two triangles.
AB ≅ DB ∠A ≅ ∠D
BE ≅ BC ∠ABE ≅ ∠DBC
AB ≅ DB ∠E ≅ ∠C
Example 2.
O I 4 X
Given: ONE ≅ SIX, m∠E = 65, and IX = 4
Find:
a. m∠X
b. NE
65°
Solution: E N S
a. Since ∠X ≅ ∠E, you know that m∠X = m∠E = 65, therefore m∠X = 65.

B D E
AC = CE
43 = 2x + 3 → Subtract 3 from each side. Subtraction Property of Equality.
43 - 3 = 2x + 3 – 3
20 = x
Checking: Substitute the value of x = 20 into the given equation to prove that
̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐶 = ̅̅̅̅
𝐶𝐸 are equal.
AC = CE
43 = 2x + 3
43 = 2(20) + 3
43 = 40 + 3
43 = 43

Example 4:
Solution:
Since PRY ≅ SLM, then PR ≅ SL. Hence, PY = SM by the definition of congruent
segment.
PY = SM
5=x
Checking: Substitute the value of x =5 into the given equation to prove that
̅̅̅̅ ̅̅̅̅ are equal.
𝑃𝑌 = 𝑆𝑀
PY = SM
9 = 2x – 1
9 = 2(5) – 1
9 = 10 – 1
9=9

Let Us Remember
Corresponding Angles
In a pair of similar triangles, the corresponding angles are the angles with the same
measure.
Corresponding Sides
In a pair of similar triangles, the corresponding sides are the sides with the same
measure.
Given the figure below ∆KSY ≅ ∆CIE. The corresponding sides and angles are
as follows:
SK ≅ IC
∠S ≅ ∠I
SY ≅ EI
∠K ≅ ∠C

Let Us Enhance
Imagine that you are an engineer, and you want to draw your own house.
Create your dream house using only triangles. Be creative and widen your
imagination. Give a brief explanation of your masterpiece.
Let Us Reflect
I hope you have learned a lot form this lesson. Always put in mind that
triangle can only be congruent if their corresponding sides and corresponding angles
are congruent. You can apply it when you make your dream house real soon.
