Q1 of 3 Page 87

In each pair of triangles given below, parts shown by identical marks are congruent. State the test and the one to one correspondence of vertices by which triangles in each pair are congruent and remaining congruent parts.



(i) In the triangles of MST & TBM,



Side MT = Side TM (Given Hypotenuse is common between two Δs)


Side MS = Side TM


By the property of Hypotenuse Side Test, it is proved that ΔMSTΔTBM.


The observations are as


Side ST = Side BM


MST =TBM


MST TBM


SMT =BTM


STM =BMT.


(ii) In the triangles of PRQ & TRS,



Side PR = Side TR (Given)


PRQ=TRS (Given vertically opposite angles)


Side SR = Side TR (Given)


By the property of SAS, it is proved thatΔPRQΔTRS.


The observations are as


Side PQ = Side TS


QPR = RTS


RQP =RST


(iii) In the triangles of DCH & DCF,



DCH=DCF (Given)


DHC=DFC (Given)


Side DC is common between two Δs. (Given)


By the property of AAS, it is proved that ΔDCHΔDCF.


The observations are as


Side HC = Side FC


Side DH = Side DF


CDH = CDF.
