If PQR and DEF are congruent under the correspondence QPR DEF, then <P = _____.
[A] <D [B] <E [C] <F
Answers
Answer:
(B) ∠E
Explanation:
According to the question,
∆ PQR ≅ ∆ DEF
by the correspondence QPR ⇌ DEF
This means that the corresponding parts of both the triangles are equal.
- ∠Q = ∠D
- ∠P = ∠E
- ∠R = ∠F
- QP = DE
- PR = EF
- QR = DF
So, from above,
∠P = ∠E

★ 2 triangles are said to be congruent on the basis of their sides and angles. There are 5 types of congruencies:
- SSS (Side - Side - Side)
- SAS (Side - Angle - Side)
- AAS (Angle - Angle - Side)
- ASA (Angle - Side - Angle)
- RHS (Right angle - Hypotenuse - Side)
