The video tutorial explains how to use CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent) in two-column proofs. It reviews the four postulates needed to prove triangle congruence: SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS. The tutorial provides several examples demonstrating how to apply CPCTC to prove congruence of angles and segments in various geometric configurations, including triangles, circles, and parallel lines.

Which postulate requires all three sides of two triangles to be congruent to prove the triangles are congruent?

• Side-Angle-Side (SAS)

• Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)

• Side-Side-Side (SSS)

• Angle-Angle-Side (AAS)
