Question

if the area of two similar triangles are equle . prove that they are congruent

Answer 1

if the area of two similar triangles are equal, prove that they are congruent. Let triangles ABC and PQR have equal areas. we have the formula for area of similar triangles. implies that AB=PQ, BC=QR, AC=PR.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

→ ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF such that ar(∆ABC) = ar( ∆DEF) .

➡ To prove :-

→ ∆ABC ≅ ∆DEF .

➡ Proof :- =°=°=°

→ ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF . ( Given ) .

$\begin{lgathered}\tiny \sf \implies \frac{ar( \triangle ABC )}{ ar( \triangle D EF )} = \frac{AB^2}{DE^2} = \frac{AC^2}{DF^2} = \frac{BC^2}{EF^2} .........(1) . \\\end{lgathered}$

Now, ar(∆ABC) = ar( ∆DEF ) [ given ] .

$\begin{lgathered}\sf \implies \frac{ar( \triangle ABC )}{ ar( \triangle D EF )} = 1..........(2). \\\end{lgathered}$

▶ From equation (1) and (2), we get

$\begin{lgathered}\sf \implies \frac{AB^2}{DE^2} = \frac{AC^2}{DF^2} = \frac{BC^2}{EF^2} = 1 . \\\end{lgathered}$

⇒ AB² = DE² , AC² = DF² , and BC² = EF² .

[ Taking square root both sides, we get ] .

⇒ AB = DE , AC = DF and BC = EF .

$\large\pink{ \boxed{ \tt \therefore \triangle ABC \cong \triangle D EF .}}$

[ by SSS-congruency ] .

Hence, it is proved.
