Section 4­3  Congruent Triangles

­  Triangles that are the same size and shape are   congruent triangles.

­  Each triangle has three angles and three sides.

­  If all six of the corresponding parts of two triangles   are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.

Ex:

­  If      ABC is congruent to     EFG, the vertices of   the two triangles correspond in the same order as   the letters naming the triangles.

Ex:

­  The correspondence of vertices can be used to   name the corresponding congruent sides and angles   of the two triangles.

Ex:

­  The corresponding sides and angles can be   determined from any congruence statement by   following the order of the letters.

CPCTC stands for Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.

"If and only if" is used to show that both the conditional and its converse are true.

Ex 1  Identify the congruent triangles in each figure.a.

d.

Note:  This is a parallelogram since opposite sides are parallel.  Also, in a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.  

**  We will use alternate interior angles a lot in this      chapter.

Ex 2  Name the congruent angles and sides for each pair of congruent triangles.

b.

­  Like congruence of segments and angles,   congruence of triangles is reflexive, symmetric,   and transitive.

­  In the figures below,      ABC is congruent to              DEF.

­  If you slide     DEF up and to the right,      DEF is    still congruent to      ABC.

­  You can slide it anywhere and it will still be   congruent (same size and shape).

­  The congruency does not change whether you turn          DEF or flip     DEF.

­       ABC is still congruent to     DEF.

SLIDE = TRANSLATION

TURN = ROTATION FLIP = REFLECTION OR MIRROR IMAGE

­  If you slide, flip, or turn a triangle, the size and   shape do not change.

­  These three transformations are called congruence     transformations.

Ex 4  Describe the congruence transformation between the two triangles as a slide, a flip, or a turn.  Then name the congruent triangles.a.
