prove that two Triangles are congruent if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of other triangle
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Two triangles ABC and DEF such that angle B = angle E , angle C = angle F and BC= EF
To Prove : triangle ABC congruent to triangle DEF
Proof : there are 3 possibilities
CASE 1
when AB= DE
in this case we have
AB=DE
angle B = angle E
and
BC= EF
so by SAS congruency rule triangle ABC congruent to triangle DEF
CASE 2
when AB is greater than ED
in this case take a point G on ED such that EG = AB.join GF.
NOW in triangles ABC & GEF
AB= GE
ANGLE B = ANGLE E
BC= EF
BY SAS CONGRYENCY RULE TRIANGLE ABC CONGRUENT TO TRIANGLE GEF
SO,
angle ACB = angle GFE
but,
angle ACB = angle DFE
therefore,angle GFE = angle DFE
this is possible only when ray FG coincides with ray FD or G coincides with D. therefore AB must be equal to DE .
In triangles ABC and DEF ,
AB=DE
ANGLE B = ANGLE E
BC= EF
SO, by SAS criteria of congruent triangle ABC = DEF
CASE 3
when AB is less than ED.
in this case take a point G on ED produced such that EG= AB. JOIN GF. Now proceeding exactly on the same lines as in CASE 2 we can prove that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF.
Hence,in all the 3 cases we obtain triangle ABC congruent to triangle DEF..
