    The document discusses congruent triangles and their properties. It defines congruent triangles as triangles that have corresponding angles and sides that are equal in measure. It provides an example of overlapping two triangles and identifying their six corresponding parts to determine if they are congruent. Real-world examples of congruent triangles being used in bridge and building designs are given because their geometric properties reinforce structural integrity.

    CONGRUENT

    TRIANGLES
    TRIANGLES, CORRESPONDING PARTS, CONGRUENT
    “CUT AND MEASURE”
    1. Using a piece of paper, trace the two triangles and cut them
    out.
    Overlap the two triangles such that the three pairs of vertices
    coincide with each other.
    3. Upon coinciding the three pairs of vertices, identify the three
    pairs of corresponding angles and three pairs of corresponding
    sides.
    4. After identifying the six pairs of corresponding parts, find the
    measurement of each to complete the table below. (Use a
    protractor in getting the degree measure of each angle and use
    a ruler in getting the length of each side.)
    5. Give your definition of congruent triangles.
    A⟷D B⟷E C⟷F
    — is the symbol for
    “correspondence”
    This correspondence was established when
    we overlapped the two triangles so that the
    three pairs of angles and the three pairs of
    sides coincide with each other.
    • What is the definition
    of congruent triangles?
    In the illustrations below, the congruent corresponding
    parts are marked identically.
    Note that when naming two congruent
    triangles one must observe the order of
    vertices of each triangle based on its
    correspondence. Like in our example
    • Do you think some designing structures
    require the knowledge of triangle
    congruence? Why or why not?
    • Do you think the knowledge of triangle
    congruence has something to do with
    your dream profession? Why or why
    not?
    An example of infrastructures having
    congruent triangles is the Mandaue-
    Mactan Bridge as shown below.
    FACTS: In the real world,
    congruent triangles are used in
    construction when we need to
    reinforce structures so that they are
    strong and stable, and do not bend
    or buckle in strong winds or when
    under load.
    The bridge below uses a triangular truss
    design. Some vertices are labeled and
    ∆AIM≅∆MEN. List the congruent sides and
    congruent angles of these congruent
    triangles.
    A.Direction: Read each question
    carefully. Write the letter which
    corresponds to the correct
    answer on the space before
    each number.
    B.
    A.Assignment
    1.) Locate things in your house or anywhere you can,
    that illustrate two congruent triangles. Take a photo of
    the two congruent triangles. Then, name the first
    triangle as ΔFAN and the second as ΔTIP. Then,
    a. mark the congruent parts identically;
    b. write the congruence statement for the two
    congruent triangles; and
    c. list down the 3 pairs of corresponding congruent
    sides and 3 pairs of corresponding congruent angles.
