Congruent triangles: all pairs of corresponding parts are
congruent.

Definitions
Geometry
• Plane: a two-dimensional figure usually
represented by a shape that looks like a wall or
floor even though the plane extends without end
• Polygon: a closed plane figure with the following
properties:
1) It is formed by three or more line segments
called sides.
2) Each side intersects exactly two sides, one at
each endpoint, so that no two sides with a
common endpoint are collinear.

• Reflexive property
any segment or angle is congruent to itself.
Since the triangles overlap,
this angle is reflexive to
triangles!

3 Ways to Prove Triangles Congruent
Geometry
• Introduction
Included sides and angles
To be included means to be flanked by or trapped between
– Thus, the points of a line segment are included between
its endpoints.
– In a triangle, sides can be included by angles and angles
can be included by sides.

• CPCTC Principle:
Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent
You MUST prove the triangles congruent FIRST!!!

Circles and CPCTC
Geometry
• Circle: The set of all points in a plane that are a
given distance from a given point in the plane.
.
.
.
P • Segment OP is a radius
• Segments OP and OR are radii
O
• Remember your formulas?
Area of a circle
Circumference of a circle
R • Theorem: All radii of
a circle are congruent.
A r 2
C 2 r

Section 3.4
Beyond CPCTC
Geometry
• Median: A line segment drawn
from any vertex of the triangle to
the midpoint of the opposite side.
How many medians does a triangle
have? (3)
• A median divides into two
congruent segments, or bisects
the side to which it is drawn.
30
Section 3.4
Beyond CPCTC
Geometry
• Altitude: A line segment drawn
from any vertex of the triangle to
the opposite side, extended if
necessary, and perpendicular to
that side.
How many altitudes does a triangle
have? (3)
• An altitude of a triangle forms
right (90º) angles with one of the
sides.

• Auxiliary Lines: A line introduced into a
diagram for the purpose of clarifying a proof.

• Postulate: Two points determine a line (or ray
or segment).
32
Solving Proofs: Remember the Steps
Geometry
• 1. Draw the diagram.
• 2. Carefully read the problem and mark the diagram.
• 3. Place a question mark (?) in the area that you
need to prove.
• 4. Create a flow diagram.
• 5. Use one given at a time and draw as much
information as possible from that given.
• (Disregard information that is not needed.)
• 6. Sequentially list the statements and reasons.
• 7. The last statement should be the prove statement.
• 8. Check the proof. It should follow a logical order.

congruent, then the angles opposite the sides
are congruent.
• Theorem: If two angles of a triangle are
congruent, the sides opposite the angles are
congruent.
Ways to Prove that a Triangle is Isosceles:
1. If at least two sides of a triangle are congruent
2. If at least two angles of a triangle are congruent
43
Section 3.7
Angle-Side Theorems
Geometry
• Theorem: If two sides of a triangle are not
congruent, then the angles opposite them are
not congruent, and the larger angle is opposite
the longer side.
• Theorem: If two angles of a triangle are not
congruent, then the sides opposite them are not
congruent, and the longer side is opposite the
larger angle.
44
Section 3.8
The HL Postulate
Geometry
• HL Postulate: If there exists a correspondence
between the vertices of two right triangles such
that the hypotenuse and a leg of one triangle
are congruent to the corresponding parts of the
other triangle, the two right triangles are
congruent.
