Hello, 22Buckt CPCTC stands for "Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent" this would be useful after you prove that two triangles are congruent, is it asks to show that two angles or two sides are congruent.

Answer with explanation:

When we prove two triangles are congruent, either by following four congruent Axioms

1. S AS

2. SSS

3. A AS

4. A SA

Then C P CT C stands for Corresponding part of Congruent Triangles.

So, C P C TC is useful for proving , those corresponding parts of triangle that is side and Angles equal which are not used while proving Congruency of two triangles.
