4.3 Congruent Triangles

We will……name and label corresponding parts

of congruent triangles.…identify congruence transformations.

Corresponding parts Corresponding parts of congruent trianglesof congruent triangles

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

Each triangle has three angles and three sides. If all six corresponding parts are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.

If ΔABC is congruent to ΔXYZ , then vertices of the two triangles correspond in the same order as the letter naming the triangles.

ΔABC = ΔXYZ~

Use a protractor to measure the angles of the triangles. You will find that the measures are the same.

Answer: The lengths of the corresponding sides of two triangles are equal. Therefore, by the definition of congruence,

In conclusion, because ,
