CPCTC is an acronym for Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent. It means that once two triangles are proven to be congruent, then the three pairs of sides that correspond must be congruent and the three pairs of angles that correspond must be congruent.
CPCTC is usually used at the end of a proof to show that two angles or two sides are congruent.
