Question

What is rhs congruence

Answer 1

Hiii!!!    In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse and one other side in the first triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and corresponding side in the second triangle (the RHS rule: Right-angled, Hypotenuse, Side).   Hope it helps

Answer 2

Hey there !

In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse and one other side in the first triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and corresponding side in the second triangle (the RHS rule: Right-angled, Hypotenuse, Side).

. ∆PQR is an isosceles triangle such that PQ = PR, prove that the altitude PO from P on QR bisects PQ.

Solution:

In the right triangles POQ and POR,

∠POQ = ∠POR = 90°

PQ = PR           [since, ∆PQR is an isosceles. Given PQ = PR]

PO = OP           [common]

Therefore ∆ POQ ≅ ∆ POR by RHS congruence condition

So, QO = RO (by corresponding parts of congruence triangles).

Hope it helps you !
