CPCTC

Front

What does CPCTC stand for?

Back

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

Front

What is a congruence statement?

Back

A statement that indicates two geometric figures are congruent, such as ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF.

Front

If ∆PIG ≅ ∆COW, what can be concluded about the corresponding sides and angles?

Back

The corresponding sides and angles of the triangles are equal.

Front

What is the significance of the symbol '≅' in geometry?

Back

It denotes that two figures are congruent.

Front

How can you determine if two triangles are congruent?

Back

By using congruence criteria such as SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, or HL.

Front

What does the Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence criterion state?

Back

If three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What does the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) congruence criterion state?

Back

If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) congruence criterion?

Back

If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

What is the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) congruence criterion?

Back

In right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one leg of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Front

If ∆LMK ≅ ∆LMT, what can be said about ∠K and ∠T?

Back

∠K ≅ ∠T.
