Explain how proving two triangles congruent can help prove parts of the triangle congruent.

Answered by admin @



Explanation:


If two triangles are congruent, this means they are the same shape and the same size.


By definition, all corresponding angles of two congruent triangles are congruent. Additionally, all corresponding sides of two congruent triangles are congruent.


When we know that two triangles are congruent and are showing that corresponding sides or corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent, we use the justification "CPCTC". This stands for:


Corresponding

Parts of

Congruent

Triangles are
