1 Proving Parts of Triangles Congruent
With SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS, you know how to use three parts of triangles to show that the triangles are congruent. Once you have triangles congruent, you can make conclusions about their other parts because, by definition, corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. You can abbreviate this as CPCTC.
Proof 1 EXAMPLE Real-World Connection
Real-World Connection
Shapes formed by the ribs, stretchers, and shaft are congruent whether an umbrella is open or closed.
Quick Check
Umbrella Frames In an umbrella frame, the stretchers are congruent and they open to angles of equal measure.
Given: SL > SR, &1 > &2
Prove that the angles formed by the shaft and the ribs are congruent.
Prove: &3 > &4 Proof: It is given that SL > SR and &1 > &2. SC > SC by the Reflexive Property of Congruence. #LSC > #RSC by SAS, so &3 > &4 by CPCTC.

distance across a river, indirectly.

Math Background
Proving triangles congruent is usually not an end in itself. When polygons are divided into triangles, applying CPCTC to congruent triangles can lead to congruence statements that otherwise would have been difficult or impossible to prove.

Students can reenact the officer's measurement technique by measuring the distance across a playing field.
Error Prevention!
Remind students that corresponding parts of congruent triangles are clearly indicated by the order of vertices in the triangle congruence statement. Have students practice identifying corresponding parts without referring to diagrams.

Proof 2 EXAMPLE Real-World Connection
Quick Check
History According to legend,
one of Napoleon's officers used
congruent triangles to estimate
the width of a river. On the
riverbank, the officer stood up
F
straight and lowered the visor
of his cap until the farthest thing
D
he could see was the edge of the
opposite bank. He then turned
E
and noted the spot on his side
of the river that was in line with
his eye and the tip of his visor.
G not to scale
Given: &DEG and &DEF are right angles; &EDG > &EDF.
The officer then paced off the distance to this spot and declared that distance to be the width of the river! Use congruent triangles to prove that he was correct.
Prove: EF > EG
Statements
Reasons
1. &EDG > &EDF
2. DE > DE 3. &DEG and &DEF are right angles. 4. &DEG > &DEF 5. #DEF > #DEG 6. EF > EG
