HOMEWORK: Lesson 4.6/1-9, 18Chapter 4 Test - FRIDAY

PROVE IT!

CPCTC Corresponding Parts of

Congruent Triangles are Congruent

• We say: Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent or CPCTC for short

• Once you have proven two triangles congruent using one of the short cuts, the rest of the parts of the triangle you haven’t proved directly are also congruent!

CPCTC

1.Take the 1st Given and MARK it on the picture

2.Write this Given in the PROOF & its reason (given)1.If the Given is NOT a stmt, write the

stmt to matchContinue until there are no more Given

3.Do you have 3 stmts? 1.If not, look for built-in parts

4.Do you have triangles?1.If not, write CNBD

5.Write the triangle congruence and reason.6.If the PROVE is a pair of corresponding

partsWrite the congruency & CPCTC as the reason

corresponding parts are

Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are

Congruent.

You can only use CPCTC in a proof AFTER you have proven a

TRIANGLE congruence.
