A triangle is a three-sided shape defined by three line segments. The parts of a triangle are its three angles and three sides. Two triangles are congruent if they have the same size and shape, meaning corresponding angles and sides are equal in measure. The CPCTC theorem states that if two triangles are congruent, then corresponding parts (angles and sides that occupy the same relative position) are also congruent.

CONGRUENCE •Two geometric figures with exactly same size and same shapes. TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE Example 1: CPCTC stands for "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent" Corresponding parts are the parts that appear in identical places in two similar shapes. Example:
∆EAF ≅ ∆AET
Corresponding Angles Corresponding Sides
EA AF ↔ ET AE EF ↔ AT FT EA ↔ AE Example: ACTIVITY 4 FED
