4-1: Congruent Figures
4-2: Some Ways to Prove Triangles
Congruent
have
•same size
•same shape
Two shapes are congruent if…
You can pick one up and fit it exactly with the other by any
combination of the following…
• sliding it left/right/up/down (translation)
• flipping it (reflection)
• rotating it (rotation)
• Two polygons are congruent if and only if their vertices can be
matched up so that their corresponding parts are congruent.
• What is the correspondence for the following pentagons?
Recall…
• Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure.
∠𝟏 ≅ ∠𝟐 ⇔ 𝒎∠𝟏 = 𝒎∠𝟐
• Two segments are congruent if they have the same length.
𝑨𝑩 ≅ 𝑪𝑫 ⇔ 𝑨𝑩 = 𝑪𝑫
Congruent Triangles (CPCTC)
∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 and ∆𝐷𝐸𝐹
are ≅ ∆s
𝑨 𝑬
Two triangles
• 𝑨𝑩𝑪 ↔ 𝑫𝑬𝑭, so we write Δ𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ Δ𝑫𝑬𝑭
• Why is Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ Δ𝐷𝐹𝐸 incorrect?

Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are
Congruent
If ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 ≅ ∆𝐷𝐸𝐹, then 𝐴𝐵 ≅ 𝐷𝐸 and ∠𝐴 ≅ ∠𝐷
𝐵𝐶 ≅ 𝐸𝐹
∠𝐵 ≅ ∠𝐸
𝐶𝐴 ≅ 𝐹𝐷
∠𝐶 ≅ ∠𝐹
and
: A side of a triangle is included by (is inbetween) the angles whose vertices are the side’s endpoints.
𝐴𝐵 𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑦 ∠𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝐵
: An angle is included by (is in-between) the
sides of the triangle that lie on the sides of the angle.
∠𝐴 𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑦 𝐴𝐵 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐴𝐶

Section 4-2: Shortcuts to Proving
Triangles Congruent
We know that Δ𝑁𝐿𝑀 ≅ Δ𝑄𝑃𝑅 if and only if…
𝑁𝐿 ≅ 𝑄𝑃
𝐿𝑀 ≅ 𝑃𝑅
𝑀𝑁 ≅ 𝑅𝑄
∠𝑁 ≅ ∠𝑄
∠𝐿 ≅ ∠𝑃
∠𝑀 ≅ ∠𝑅
This seems like a lot of work to prove all 6 of these criteria…

Side-Side-Side Congruence Postulate
If
all 3 sides of 1
∆ are ≅ to all 3
sides of another

Side-Angle-Side Congruence Postulate
If
2 sides and the 𝑪
included ∠ of 1
∆ are ≅ to that

then
the ∆s are ≅
∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ ∆𝑫𝑬𝑭

Angle-Side-Angle Congruence Postulate
If

the ∆s are ≅

∆𝑨𝑩𝑪 ≅ ∆𝑫𝑬𝑭
Can we conclude the triangles are congruent? If so, write
• a congruence statement and
• the postulate that justifies your claim (SSS, SAS, or ASA)
