SOLVING CORRESPONDING
PARTS OF CONGRUENT
TRIANGLES
 OBJECTIVES:
identify correspondingparts of congruent
triangles;
name congruent triangles;
find the measure of corresponding parts
of congruent triangle; and
relate triangle congruence to real life
situations.
 Look at the following congruent triangles. There are
ACTIVITY: angles with no measure in the following congruent
angles. Your task is to find the measure of each
angle with no measure. Write your answer in 1/2
crosswise. Show your solutions and explanation.
example:
J C △
Since JAN ≅△ CHE,
80º 80º ∠ N is 60º because N∠
≅∠ E. Because they
are congruent they have
60º 60º 60º
A N H E the same measure.

TODAY'S LESSON:
Two triangles are congruent if all of their
parts coincide. That is, for the two
triangles to be congruent, they must have
the same shape and the same size.

TODAY'S LESSON:
Let's take a look at the following examples :
J A
70º 70º

E 80º
A I 80º 50º
X
 TODAY'S LESSON:
J A
70º 70º

80º 80º 50º

E A I X
Since △ JEA is congruent to △AIX, we can easily
find the measure of ∠A in △JEA.
 △
Since JEA ≅△ AIX, the corresponding
parts, particularly, the angles are
congruent. By CPCTC, we can say that
∠ ≅∠ ∠ ≅ ∠
J A, E ∠ ≅∠
I, and A X. To
∠ △
find A, we need to focus on JEA. We
∠
know that J = 70º and since E ∠ ≅∠ I,
∠
we can say that A = 50º

Since △ REN is congruent to △CAS, we can easily
find the measure of ∠R in △REN.
 △
Since REN ≅△ CAS, the corresponding
parts, particularly, the angles are
congruent. By CPCTC, we can say that
∠ ≅∠ ∠ ≅ ∠
R ∠ ≅∠
C, E A, and N S.
∠ △
To find R, we need to focus on REN.
∠ ∠ ≅
We know that E = 60º and since N
∠ ∠
S, we can say that R = 70º.

Activity!!
Direction:
We are going to group the class into four
groups. Each group is given different
tasks. The first group to finish their
activity will get plus points and prize.
Group 1: Find the missing measure of angles
to form a hidden word. Paste your
activity to the board.
