Triangles
Answers
Given :-
Two triangles ABC and PQR
AM and PN are respective median such that
AB = PQ
BC = QR
AM = PN
To prove:-
( I) Triangle ABM is congrent to Triangle PQN
(II) Triangle ABC is congrent to Triangle PQR
Prove :-
In traingles ABC and PQR
BC = QR ( Given )
so
1\2 BC = 1\2 QR
= BM = QN ( as AM and PN are medium)
In triangles ABM and PQN
AB = PQ ( Given )
BM = QN ( proved above )
AM = PN ( Given )
Therefore by SSS Congrency rule
Triangle ABM is congrent to Triangle PQN
so
Angle B = Angle Q ( C.P.C.T)
NOW
(II)
In triangles ABC and PQR
AB = PQ ( Given )
Angle B = Angle Q ( proved above )
BC = QR ( Given)
Therefore by SAS Congrency axiom
Triangle ABC is congrent to Triangle PQR
HENCE PROVED
We know :-
• A median of a triangle is a line segment that joins a vertex to the mid-point of the side that is opposite to that vertex.
• There are basically four congruency rules that proves if two triangles are congruent
SSS (Side-Side-Side)
SAS (Side-Angle-Side)
ASA (Angle-Side-Angle)
AAS (Angle-Angle-Side)
RHS (Right angle-Hypotenuse-Side)
