(M8GE-IIIf – 1)

Objectives
The learner should be able to solve corresponding parts of congruent triangles.

Let’s Recall
Exercise: Given the congruence between two triangles, identify all pairs of congruent
parts.
∆ 𝐶𝐴𝑇 ≅ ∆𝑃𝐼𝑁 Corresponding angles Corresponding Sides
∠𝐶 ≅ ∠𝑃 ̅̅̅̅
𝐶𝐴 ≅ ̅̅̅
𝑃𝐼
∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝐼 ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝑇 ≅ 𝐼𝑁̅̅̅̅
∠𝑇 ≅ ∠𝑁 ̅̅̅̅ ≅ 𝑃𝑁

Let’s Understand

Congruence means having the same size and shape.

Two triangles are congruent if and only if their corresponding parts are
congruent.
