Given: ΔABC ~ ΔPQR. &
ar ΔABC =ar ΔPQR
To Prove: ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR
Proof: Since, ΔABC ~ ΔPQRar ΔABC =ar ΔPQR. (given)
ΔABC / ar ΔPQR = 1
⇒ AB²/PQ² = BC²/QR² = CA²/PR² = 1
[ USING THEOREM OF AREA OF SIMILAR TRIANGLES]
⇒ AB= PQ , BC= QR & CA= PR
Thus, ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR[BY SSS criterion of congruence]
hope this answer helps you well
