Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent
Don't get what it means. No problem
- It means that if the triangles are congruent, so are the parts of the triangle.
Still don't get it. Here is an example:
Given: Line Segment (LS) AB is congruent to LS DE; LS AB is perpendicular to LS BD; and, LS DE is perpendicular to LS BD.
Prove: LS AC is congruent to LS EC
Solution:
*NOTE: AAS MEANS ANGLE ANGLE SIDE EXAMPLE: 
CPCTC MEANS CONGRUENT PART OF CONGRUENT TRIANGLES ARE CONGRUENT.
Problem from :http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/Geometry-proofs/Geometry_proofs.faq.question.221424.html
Are there any other triangle congruency shortcuts?
