CONGRUENCE

A one-to-one correspondence can be

established between the vertices of two A D
given triangles.

In ΔABC and ΔDEF, for example, A can

be paired with D, B with E, and C with F.
This pairing of vertices can be described B C E F
by using the symbol for correspondence,
which is “↔ ”. ABC ↔ DEF means A is
paired with D, B with E, and C with F.

Definition of
Congruent Triangles

Two triangles are congruent if their

corresponding parts are congruent.
From here on, the acronym CPCTC
will used to mean “Corresponding
parts of congruent triangles are
congruent.”

 PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Example:
A civil engineer is designing a roof truss to support the roof of a new house. The truss is
made of several triangular sections. Each triangular section must be congruent to ensure
the roof is stable and can bear the weight evenly.
Question;
Given that one of the triangles in the truss has sides of lengths 6 meters, 6 meters, and 8
meters, and the angles between these sides are equal, how can the engineer ensure that
all other triangles used in the truss are congruent?
(A) The engineer can measure the sides and angles of each triangle to ensure that they
match exactly.
(B) The engineer can just use the same dimensions for all triangles without measuring.
(C) The engineer can randomly choose triangles without any measurement.
(D) The engineer should make the sides longer but leave the angles the same.
The correct answer is (A) The
engineer can measure the sides and
angles of each triangle to ensure that
they match exactly.
 ACTIVITY 04
A landscape designer is creating a new playground. To ensure the play structures are
symmetrical and balanced, the designer is using congruent triangles to form parts of a climbing
structure. Each triangular panel is to be made from congruent pieces.
Question:
The designer wants to create a large triangular climbing wall, using congruent triangles. If one
triangle has an angle of 60°, and the other two angles are 60° and 60°, what type of triangle is
being used for the design, and why is it important for the triangles to be congruent?
(A) An equilateral triangle, because all sides and angles are equal, ensuring stability and
symmetry.
(B) A scalene triangle, because it looks more unique and doesn't need congruence.
(C) A right triangle, to make the wall steep and challenging.
(D) An isosceles triangle, because it has two equal sides and will be easy to assemble.

ANSWER

(A) An equilateral triangle, because all

sides and angles are equal, ensuring
stability and symmetry
