4-3 Congruent Triangles
You identified and used congruent angles.
• Name and use corresponding parts of congruent polygons.
• Prove triangles congruent using the definition of congruence.
![Page 2: 4-3 Congruent Triangles](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051418/568157cf550346895dc555ff/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
• If two geometric figures have exactly the same shape and size, they are congruent.
• Un two congruent polygons, all of the parts of one polygon are congruent to the corresponding parts or matching parts of the other polygon. These corresponding parts include corresponding angles and corresponding sides.

Show that the polygons are congruent by identifying all of the congruent corresponding parts. Then write a congruence statement.
Answer: All corresponding parts of the two polygons are congruent. Therefore, ABCDE RTPSQ.

The phrase “if and only if” in the congruent polygon definition means that both the conditional and its converse are true. So, if two polygons are congruent, then their corresponding parts are congruent. For triangles, Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, or CPCTC.

mIJK + mIJK + mJIK = 180 Substitution
72 + 72 + mJIK = 180 Substitution
144 + mJIK = 180 Simplify.
mJIK = 36 Subtract 144 from each side.
mJIH = 36 Third Angles Theorem
Answer: mJIH = 36
mIJK + mIKJ + mJIK = 180 Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem
