Question

In the figure Triangle BAT is congruent to Triangle CAT. Which statement is true by CPCTC?

Answer 1

BT is Congruent to CT

Explanation:

Since these two triangles are said to be congruent, that means that their side lengths and angle measures are congruent as well. So, since BT corresponds to CT in the diagram, they must be congruent.

Answer 2

BT≅CT

Explanation:

If two triangles are congruent it means that they have the same size and shape, or that they mirror each other. Since the side, AT, is common to both triangles, the congruent triangles are mirrored in this case, which means that side CT in ∠CAT corresponds to side BT in ∠BAT.
