Using Congruent Triangles: CPCTC If you know that two triangles are congruent, then you can use CPCTC to prove the corresponding parts in whose triangles are congruent. *You must prove that the triangles are congruent before you can use CPCTC*

Example 1 Use Corresponding Parts In the diagram, AB and CD bisect each other at M. Prove that A B. Because A and B are corresponding angles in ∆ADM and ∆BCM, show that ∆ADM ∆BCM to prove that A B. 2. SOLUTION First sketch the diagram and label any congruent segments and congruent angles. 1.

Example 2 Visualize Overlapping Triangles SOLUTION Sketch the triangles separately and mark any given information. Think of ∆JGH moving to the left and ∆KHG moving to the right. 1. Sketch the overlapping triangles separately. Mark all congruent angles and sides. Then tell what theorem or postulate you can use to show ∆JGH ∆KHG. Mark GJH HKG and JHG KGH.
24
Example 2 Visualize Overlapping Triangles Look at the original diagram for shared sides, shared angles, or any other information you can conclude. 2. Add congruence marks to GH in each triangle. In the original diagram, GH and HG are the same side, so GH HG. You can use the AAS Congruence Theorem to show that ∆JGH ∆KHG. 3.
25
Example 3 Use Overlapping Triangles In the original diagram, C is the same in both triangles ( BCA ECD). SOLUTION Sketch the triangles separately. Then label the given information and any other information you can conclude from the diagram. 1. Write a proof that shows AB DE. ABC DEC AB DE CB CE
