Question
Observe the information shown in pair of triangle given below. State the test by which the two triangles are congruent. Write the remaining congruent parts of the triangles.
From the information shown in the figure,
In ΔABC and ΔPQR
∠ABC ≅ ∠PQR
seg BC ≅ seg QR
∠ACB ≅ ∠PRQ
∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR ...`square` test
∴ ∠BAC ≅ `square` ...corresponding angles of congruent triangles.
`{:("seg AB" ≅ square),("and" square ≅ "seg PR"):}}` ...corresponding sides of congruent triangles
Solution
From the information shown in the figure,
In ΔABC and ΔPQR
∠ABC ≅ ∠PQR
seg BC ≅ seg QR
∠ACB ≅ ∠PRQ
∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR ...ASA test
∴ ∠BAC ≅ ∠QPR ...corresponding angles of congruent triangles.
`{:("seg AB" ≅ bb("seg PQ")),("and" bb("seg AC") ≅ "seg PR"):}}` ...corresponding sides of congruent triangles
