CPCT = corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

OpenStudy (igreen):

CPCTC*

OpenStudy (igreen):

It says STU is congruent with ABC

OpenStudy (igreen):

So side S is congruent to side A. Side T is congruent to side B. Side U is congruent to side C.

OpenStudy (igreen):

So which one's do you think?

OpenStudy (igreen):

The same is true for the angles. Angle S is congruent to Angle A Angle T is congruent to Angle B Angle U is congruent to Angle C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D) E) F) ?

OpenStudy (igreen):

D and E are correct, but F is not

OpenStudy (igreen):

If T is congruent to B, U can't also be congruent to it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (igreen):

No. \(\sf \color{red}{ST}U = \color{red}AB\color{red}C\) It should be SU = AC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but there is only SU = BC is that okay too?

OpenStudy (igreen):

SU = AC, so it can't also equal BC That's just one example of a congruent side..just see which one's match up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TU = BC

OpenStudy (igreen):

Correct. \(\sf S\color{red}{TU} = A\color{red}{BC}\) They match up, so they're congruent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea now i understand thank you for the help

OpenStudy (igreen):

No problem.
