How much do you need to know. . . . . . about two triangles to prove that they are congruent?

Previously we learned that if all six pairs of corresponding parts (sides and angles) are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.

Using CPCTC in Proofs
According to the definition of congruence, if two triangles are congruent, their corresponding parts (sides and angles) are also congruent.
This means that two sides or angles that are not marked as congruent can be proven to be congruent if they are part of two congruent triangles.
This reasoning, when used to prove congruence, is abbreviated CPCTC, which stands for Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.

Corresponding Parts of
Congruent Triangles
For example, can you prove that sides AD and BC are congruent in the figure at right?
The sides will be congruent if triangle ADM is congruent
to triangle BCM. Angles A and B are congruent because they are marked.
Sides MA and MB are congruent because they are marked.
Angles 1 and 2 are congruent because they are vertical angles.
So triangle ADM is congruent to triangle BCM by ASA.
This means sides AD and BC are congruent by CPCTC.
