Question 4.
State whether the two triangles are congruent or not. Justify your answer.

Solution:
(i) Let the given triangle be ∆ABC. $$\overline{A D}$$ divides ∆ABC into two parts giving ∆ABD and ∆ACD.
In ∆ABD and ∆ACD

$$\overline{A B}$$ = $$\overline{A C}$$ (given)
$$\overline{B D}$$ = $$\overline{A D}$$ (common side)
∴ By SAS criterion ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD.

(ii) Let the given triangles in the figure be ∆ABC and ∆DCB.
In both the triangles

$$\overline{B C}$$ = $$\overline{B C}$$ (Common side)
$$\overline{A B}$$ = $$\overline{D C}$$
$$\overline{A C}$$ = $$\overline{B D}$$
∴ By SSS Criterion ∆ABC ≅ ∆DCB

(iii) Let the given triangles be ∆ABC and ∆CDE.

Here $$\overline{A C}$$ = $$\overline{C E}$$ (given)
∠BAC = ∠DEC (given)
∠ACB = ∠DCE (vertically opposite angles)
Two angles and the included side are equal.
Therefore by ASA criterion ∆ABC ≅ ∆CDE.

Here ∠W = ∠Z = 90°
$$\overline{X Y}$$ = $$\overline{X Y}$$ (Common Hypothenure)

By RHS criterion ∆XYZ ≅ ∆XYW

In both the triangles $$\overline{A C}$$ = $$\overline{A C}$$ (common sides)
$$\overline{A D}$$ = $$\overline{B C}$$ (given)
$$\overline{A B}$$ = $$\overline{D C}$$ (given)
By SSS criterion ∆ABC ≅ ∆ADC.

Question 5.
To conclude the congruency of triangles, mark the required information in the following figures with reference to the given congruency criterion.

Solution:
(i) In the given triangles one angle is equal and a side is common and so equal.

To satisfy ASA criterion one more angle should be equal such that the common side is the included side of both angles of a triangle.
The figure will be as follows.

(ii) In the two given triangles two sides of one triangle is equal to two sides of the other triangle.

To satisfy SSS criterion the third sides mut be equal.

(iii) The given triangles have one side in common. They are right angled tringles.

To satisfy RHS criterion their hypotenuse must be equal.

(iv) In the given triangles two angles of one triangle is equal to two angles of the other triangles?

To satisfy ASA criterion included side of two angles must be equal.

(v) In both the triangles one of their sides are equal.

One of their angles are equal or they are vertically opposite angles.
To satisfy SAS criterion, one more side is to be equal such that the angle is the included of the equal sides.

Question 6.
For each pair of triangles state the criterion that can be used to determine the congruency?

Solution:
(i) Given two pair of sides are equal and one side is common to both the triangles.
∴ SSS congruency criterion is used.

(ii) One of the sides and one of the angles are equal.
∴ One more angle is vertically opposite angle and so it is also equal.
ASA criterion is used.

(iii) From the figure hypotenuse and one side are equal in both the triangles.
RHS congruency criterion is used. (∵ Considering ∆ABC and ∆BAD)
∠A = ∠B = 90°
AB = AB (common)
∴ AC = BD (hypotenuse)

(iv) By ASA criterion both triangles are congruent.

(v) By ASA criterion both triangles are congruent. Since two angles in one triangle are equal to two corresponding angles of the other triangle. Again one side is common to both triangle and the side is the included side of the angles.

(vi) Two sides are equal. One angle is vertically opposite angles and one equal.
By SAS criterion both triangles are cogruent.
