Question

7. Consider the given pairs of triangles and say whether each pair is that of congruent triangles. If the triangles are congruent, say ‘how’; if they are not congruent say ‘why’ and also say if a small modification would make them congruent:

Answer 1

XY=XZ
PY=PZ
XP=PC
SO TRIAMGLE ARE COMGRUENT BY S.S.S
HENCE PROBED

Answer 2

Solution :

In ∆XPY and ∆XPZ

XY = XZ ( Side )

YP = ZP ( S )

PX = XP ( common side )

∆XPY is congruent to ∆XPZ
