INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
The wonders of Geometry are present everywhere, in nature and in structures.
Designs and patterns having the same size and same shape play important roles especially on
the stability of buildings and bridges. This activity sheet will help you understand the
importance of those designs and patterns having the same size and same shape.
LEARNING SKILLS FROM THE
MELCS
After going through this activity sheet, you are expected to
illustrate triangle congruence. (M8GE-IIId-1)
ACTIVITIES
Two triangles are congruent if their vertices can be paired so that corresponding
sides and corresponding angles are congruent.
Properties of Triangle Congruence
This definition is abbreviated as CPCTC, which means Corresponding Parts of
Congruent Triangles are Congruent.
Properties of Triangle Congruence
Reflexive Property ΔABC ≅ ΔABC
(A triangle is always congruent to itself.)
Symmetric Property If ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF , then ΔDEF ≅ ΔABC .
Transitive Property If Δ ABC ≅ ΔDEF and ΔDEF ≅ ΔGHI ,
then ΔABC ≅ ΔGHI
Examples:
1. List by pairs all the corresponding angles and sides that corresponds to each other and
then name the congruent triangles.
1
Answer: Look into the marks. The correspondence of the vertices can
be used to list all the corresponding angles and sides of the
triangles GHI ∧JKL. The congruent corresponding parts are
marked identically.
Corresponding Angles Corresponding Sides
∠G ↔∠J GH ↔ JK
∠ H ↔ ∠K HI ↔ KL
∠ I ↔∠L GI ↔ JL
The congruent triangles are Δ GHI ∧ ΔJKL ( Δ GHI ≅ ΔJKL )
2. Using the figures in example 1, list down the congruent sides and angles.
Answer:
Congruent Angles Congruent Sides
∠ HGI ≅ ∠ KJL GH ≅ JK
∠ GHI ≅ ∠ J KL HI ≅ KL
∠ HIG ≅ ∠ KLJ GI ≅ JL
3. Which triangles are congruent if LM ≅ YZ , LX ≅ YX , MX ≅ ZX ; ∠ L ≅ ∠Y , ∠ M ≅ ∠ Z ,
∠ L XM ≅ ∠ Y XZ ? Draw the triangles.
Answer:
Δ LMX ≅ ΔYZX
LEARNING ACTIVITY 1

LEARNING ACTIVITY 3
Prove that Δ ABC ≅ Δ DEF as shown
in the figure at the right, by listing all
corresponding congruent sides and angles.
