Using Congruent Triangles: CPCTC
LESSON 4-4
Additional Examples
What other congruence statements can you prove from the
diagram, in which SL SR, and 1 2 are given? SC SC by the
Reflexive Property of Congruence, and LSC
RSC by SAS.
3 4 by corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
When two triangles are congruent,
you can form congruence statements
about three pairs of corresponding angles
and three pairs of corresponding sides.
List the congruence statements.

Additional Examples
The Given states that DEG and DEF are right angles.
What conditions must hold for that to be true?
DEG and DEF are the angles the officer makes with the ground.
So the officer must stand perpendicular to the ground, and the ground
must be level.
