4-3: Congruent Triangles Objective: Identify congruent triangles, and name & label corresponding parts of congruent triangles.
Congruent Figures have the same shape and the same size.
Ex. 1 Congruence Statement: Corresponding Sides Corresponding Angles Other Congruence Statements:
Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. “C.P.C.T.C.”
Ex. 2:
Properties of Congruence Reflexive Property: Symmetric Property: Transitive Property:
DOUBLE ANGLE THEOREM D. A. T DOUBLE ANGLE THEOREM D.A.T.: If two angles of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angles of another triangle then the third angles are congruent Third Angles Theorem – If two angles of one triangle are congruent to 2 angles of a 2nd triangle, then the 3rd angles are congruent
Ex. 3: Determine if the triangles are congruent.
