(C) Short Answer Questions with Reasoning
Sample Question 1: In the two triangles ABC and DEF, AB = DE and AC = EF.
Name two angles from the two triangles that must be equal so that the two triangles
are congruent. Give reason for your answer.
Solution: The required two angles are ∠A and ∠E. When ∠A = ∠E, ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ EDF
by SAS criterion.
Sample Question 2: In triangles ABC and DEF, ∠A = ∠D, ∠B = ∠E and AB = EF.
Will the two triangles be congruent? Give reasons for your answer.
Solution: Two triangles need not be congruent, because AB and EF are not
corresponding sides in the two triangles.
