Proof: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Consider two triangles, ΔABC and ΔPQR in which,
In Two Triangles, two Angles  and  One Side  of The Fi...
∠ABC=∠PQR
∠ACB=∠PRQ
AB=PQ
We know that, 
∠ABC+∠ACB+∠BAC=1800
∠BAC=1800−(∠ABC+∠ACB)....(i)
Similarly,
∠QPR=1800−(∠PQR+∠PRQ)......(ii)
From (i) and (ii), 
∠BAC=∠QPR
Now, In  ΔABC and ΔPQR
∠ABC=∠PQR  [Given]
∠BAC=∠QPR   [ Proved above]
AB=PQ  [Given]
⇒ΔABC≅ΔPQR  [ ASA congruency rule]
⇒ These triangles are always congruent.
