Given: ΔABC ~ ΔPQR. &
ar ΔABC =ar ΔPQR
To Prove: ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR
Proof: Since, ΔABC ~ ΔPQR
ar 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]

Solution==>
Given=>∆ABC~∆PQR, and
ar of ∆ABC~∆PQR
To Prove=>∆ABC and ∆PQR are congurent.
Proof=> ar ΔABC/ar ΔPQR =
AB²/PQ²=BC²=QR²=AC²=PR²
given that area of triangles are equal,
ar ΔABC/ar ΔABC=AB²/PQ²=BC²=QR²=AC²=PR²
1=AB²/PQ² = BC²/QR² = CA²/PR²
AB = PQ, BC = QR and CA = PR
Therefore, ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR (By SSS criterion of congruence
