What does congruence mean in geometry?

Back

Congruence in geometry means that two figures have the same shape and size. They can be superimposed on each other.

Front

What is the definition of CPCTC?

Back

CPCTC stands for 'Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.' It is used to prove that corresponding sides and angles of congruent triangles are equal.

What is the significance of the congruence statement ΔDEC ≅ ΔBEA?

Back

This statement indicates that triangles DEC and BEA are congruent, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Front

What is the definition of segment bisector?

Back

A segment bisector is a point, line, or ray that divides a segment into two equal parts.

Front

What is the substitution property?

Back

The substitution property states that if two quantities are equal, one can be substituted for the other in any expression.

Front

What is the purpose of using congruence statements in geometry?

Back

Congruence statements are used to establish that two figures are congruent, allowing for the application of properties and theorems related to congruent figures.

Front

What does the term 'corresponding parts' refer to in congruent triangles?

Back

'Corresponding parts' refer to the sides and angles of congruent triangles that match each other in position.
