Question
In the following pairs of triangles of figure, the lengths of the sides are indicated along the sides. By applying SSS congruence criterion, determine which triangles are congruent. If congruent, write the results in symbolic form.
Solution
In ∆PQR and ∆RSP,
PR = RP ......(Common)
PQ = RS = 5 cm ......(Given)
OR = SP = 3 cm ......(Given)
∴ ∆PQR ≅ ∆RSP ......(SSS criterion)
