What is CPCTC?
- CPCTC means Corresponding Parts of
Congruent Triangles are Congruent.
- It is the definition of congruent triangles
stated in declarative form.
“If two triangles are congruent, then the
corresponding parts are congruent”

What I have learned
1. The 3 congruence postulates for triangles are used to
prove 2 triangles congruent.
2. CPCTC is the same as the definition of congruent
triangles, and CPCTC stands for Corresponding Parts of
Congruent Triangles are Congruent.
Evaluation.
