1. Basic Geometry Section 4-6: Triangle Congruence: CPCTC

2. CPCTC Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.
If the triangles are congruent, then all the parts are CONGRUENT
Useful to prove segments or angles are congruent that you have no other way to get to on the green sheet.

4. Example 1
A and B are on the edges of a ravine. What is AB?

5. Example 2
1) YW bisects XZ; XY = YZ 1) Given

6. Example 3
1) NO // MP; ∠N ≅ ∠P 1) Given

7. Using CPCTC in the Coordinate Plane
It’s hard to prove angles are congruent on a graph.
Use the distance formula to prove SSS
Then use CPCTC to prove any angles are congruent.
