Two triangles are similar. Prove that if sides in one pair of corresponding sides are congruent, then the triangles are congruent.
Given: The correspondence ∆ABC↔∆PQR is a similarity and AB ≅ PQ.
To prove: ∆ABC and ∆PQR are congruent.
Proof:
The correspondence ∆ABC↔∆PQR is a similarity.

Further, AB ≅ PQ
AB = PQ

AB = PQ, BC = QR, AC = PR
AB ≅ PQ, BC ≅ QR, AC ≅ PR
The correspondence ∆ABC↔∆PQR is a congruence by SSS theorem of congruence.
Hence, ∆ABC and ∆PQR are congruent.
