4-6 Triangle Congruence: CPCTC Holt Geometry Warm Up Lesson Presentation Lesson Quiz
Do Now • 1. If ∆ABC ∆DEF, then A ? and BC ? . • 2.If 1 2, why is a||b?
Objective Use CPCTC to prove parts of triangles are congruent.
Vocabulary CPCTC
CPCTCis an abbreviation for the phrase “Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.” It can be used as a justification in a proof after you have proven two triangles congruent.
Remember! SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and HL use corresponding parts to prove triangles congruent. CPCTC uses congruent triangles to prove corresponding parts congruent.
Example 1: Engineering Application A and B are on the edges of a ravine. What is AB?
Example 2 A landscape architect sets up the triangles shown in the figure to find the distance JK across a pond. What is JK?
Given:YW bisects XZ, XY YZ. Z Example 3: Proving Corresponding Parts Congruent Prove:XYW ZYW Reasons Statements 1. Given 2. Given 3. Def. segment bisector 4. Reflexive POC 5. SSS 6. CPCTC

Helpful Hint Work backward when planning a proof. To show that ED || GF, look for a pair of angles that are congruent. Then look for triangles that contain these angles.
