In Δ1andΔ2:
AOD=COD=90(Diagonals of square intersect at right angles)
AD=CD (Sides of a square; hypotenuse)
OD=DO (Common)
Hence, Δ1Δ2(By RHS congruence rule) ---------------------1
Similarly, Δ4Δ3(By RHS congruence rule) ---------------------2
In Δ1andΔ4
AOD=AOB=90(Diagonals of square intersect at right angles)
AD=AB(Sides of a square; hypotenuse)
OA=AO (Common)
Hence, Δ1Δ4 (By RHS congruence rule) -------------------3
Similarly, Δ2Δ3 (By RHS congruence rule) ----------------4
From 1, 2, 3 and 4 we can say that all the triangles i.e. Δ1, Δ2, Δ3 and Δ4are congruent to each other.
5, 6, 7 and 8 have relatively small area. Since they have same shape and size, they are also congruent. So, we can say that all the slices of the pizza are congruent to each other.
