● Undefined Terms – are terms that cannot be defined because they can only be
described or illustrated. These undefined terms are the building blocks of defined
terms and axioms/postulates.
● Axioms or Postulates – are statements accepted to be true without proof.
● Theorems – statements that are proven to be true using definitions,
axioms/postulates, and derived using reasoning.

UNDEFINED TERMS
● PLANE - It is a flat surface extending infinitely in all directions. A plane has infinite
length, infinite width, but has no thickness. It is usually represented in drawings by
a four‐sided figure. To name a plane you can use a capital letter written at the
corner or using three non-collinear points in it.

IDEA OF CONGRUENCE
● CONGRUENCE (≅) – two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same
shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the
other.
PARTS OF A TRIANGLE
In Geometry, a triangle is a closed, two – dimensional shape with three straight sides. It is
also a polygon. A triangle has three sides, three vertices and three angles.
Two triangles are congruent if and only if all their corresponding parts are congruent.
Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent (CPCTC)
CONGRUENCE THEOREMS
Step 1. Identify what the given are, and what is to be proved. Mark the given
information on the diagram.
Step 2. Identify the congruence theorem to be used and the additional information
needed and why.
Multiplication Property: If a=b, then ac=bc and if a=b and c=d, then ac=bd
- If two sides of a triangle are congruent then the angles opposite these sides are
congruent.
- If two angles of a triangle are congruent then the sides opposite these angles
are congruent.
