Question

in the figure two sides AB and BC and medium AM of onne triangle ABC are respectively equal to sides PQ and QR and median PN of triangle PQR.show that (i)angleABM congruence angle PQN (ii)angleABC congruence anglePQR​

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER

△ABC and△PQR in which AB=PQ,BC=QR and AM=PN.

Since AM and PN are median of triangles ABC and PQR respectively.

Now, BC=QR ∣ Given

⇒

2

1

BC=

2

1

QR ∣ Median divides opposite sides in two equal parts

BM=QN... (1)

Now, in △ABM and△PQN we have

AB=PQ ∣ Given

BM=QN ∣ From (i)

and AM=PN ∣ Given

∴ By SSS criterion of congruence, we have

△ABM≅△PQN, which proves (i)

∠B=∠Q ... (2) ∣ Since, corresponding parts of the congruent triangle are equal

Now, in △ABC and△PQR we have

AB=PQ ∣ Given

∠B=∠Q ∣ From (2)

BC=QR ∣ Given

∴ by SAS criterion of congruence, we have

△ABC≅△PQR, which proves (ii)
