1 Section 4-3 Congruent Triangles

2 Vocabulary Congruent Triangles -Triangles that are the same size and shape. Each triangle has three sides and three angles. If all sides and angles of the corresponding parts of two triangles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.

3 The Right Match Congruent Not congruent A D F E C B

4 Corresponding sides and angles
T A B S R Corresponding Angles Corresponding sides AB RS BC ST Congruence Statement: AC RT

5 H B A C K J

6 Definition of Congruent Triangles (CPCTC)
Two triangles are congruent if and only if their corresponding parts are congruent. CPCTC- Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

7 In the diagram, ΔITP  ΔNGO. Find the values of x and y.
O  P CPCTC mO = mP Definition of congruence 6y – 14 = 40 Substitution 6y = 54 Add 14 to each side. y = 9 Divide each side by 6. CPCTC NG = IT Definition of congruence x – 2y = 7.5 Substitution y = 9 x – 18 = 7.5 x = 25.5, y = 9
