Question

Two students of Grade VII shared the statements as mentioned below. Whom do you think had given the correct statement, and Justify your answer by drawing a Rough sketch of two triangles. Also, state the three pairs of congruent parts.
STUDENT P: Two triangles are said to be congruent if two sides and an angle of one triangle are respectively equal to the two sides and an angle of another triangle.
STUDENT R:Two triangles are said to be congruent if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding two sides and the included angle of another triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

By SAS congurance condition, two triangles are congurent when two sides and included angle of one triangle is equal to two sides and included angle of the other triangle.

So assertion is false because included angle is not mentioned.

Answer 2

Answer:

Congruent objects or figures are exact copies of each other or we can say mirror images of each other. The relation of two objects being congruent is called congruence.
