Question
In triangles ABC and PQR, ∠A = ∠Q and ∠B = ∠R. Which side of ∆PQR should be equal to side BC of ∆ABC so that the two triangles are congruent? Give reason for your answer.
Solution
Given: In triangle ABC and PQR,
∠A = ∠Q and ∠B = ∠R ...[Given]
BC = RP ...[For the triangle to be congruent]
Hence, it will be congruent by AAS congruent rule.
