Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Triangles that have the same size and shape, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the significance of CPCTC in triangle congruence?

Back

It allows us to conclude that corresponding parts of triangles are equal after proving the triangles themselves are congruent.

Front

If ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF, what can we say about ∠A and ∠D?

Back

∠A ≅ ∠D.

Front

What is the relationship between corresponding sides of congruent triangles?

Back

The corresponding sides of congruent triangles are equal in length.

Front

If two triangles are congruent, how many pairs of corresponding angles are congruent?

Back
