CPCTC

Warm-Up:

V A L

U B C

(1) (2)

Are the triangles congruent? Explain. Is AC UL? Explain.

(3)

Is BC VL? Explain.

Corresponding C orresponding Parts Partsof ofCongruent Congruent Triangles are Congruent (pg. 203) Triangles are Congruent (pg. 203)

CPCTC Key Idea: While SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS are used to prove two triangles are congruent using 3 parts of the triangles, CPCTC proves the other 3 parts are also congruent.
Proving triangles congruent? Use SSS, SAS, ASA, or AAS

Proving parts of triangles congruent?

Use CPCTC

Example #1: Using CPCTC

State which triangles in the figure to the right are congruent and justify.

YVZ YVW (AAS)

What other parts are congruent? How do we know?
