Given that,
ΔPEN≅ΔCAR and
PN = CR
Corresponding parts of congruent triangle are congruent.
Therefore,  the corresponding sides of congruent triangle are equal.
⇒PE=CA,   EN=AR,    PN=CR.
⇒ Also all the corresponding angles of congruent triangles  are equal.
⇒∠P=∠C,∠E=∠A,∠N=∠R.

In the given figure,
 In ΔBCA and ΔBTA,
BC = BT (Given)
CA = TA (Given)
BA = BA (Common side)
Thus, ΔBCA≅ΔBTA    [By SSS congruence rule]
In ΔQRS and ΔTPQ,
QT = QS (Given)
PQ = RS (Given)
PT = QR (Given)
Thus, ΔQRS≅ΔTPQ    [By SSS congruence rule]
Question 93.


(a) If all the sides of a triangle are equal to the sides of another triangle, will both the triangles be congruent to each other?
(b)

 Reason: 1 Mark each
(a)If three sides of one triangle are equal to the  three sides of the other triangle, then the two  triangles are congruent to each other by SSS congruence criterion.
⇒ Both triangles look like the mirror image of each other.
⇒ Both the  triangles  superimpose on each other.
So, if the sides of a triangle are congruent to the sides of another triangle, the two triangles will be congruent.
(b) 
Nothing is given or can be said about any of the corresponding sides in this case, As, AAA is not a rule for congruency, the triangles formed may or may not be congruent, depending on if the corresponding parts are equal or not.

In The Figure Given Below, CT = TR And AT = A'T. Is CA∥Aâ€...


In ΔCAT and ΔRA′T
CT=RT         [Given]
∠CTA=∠RTA′   [Vertically Opposite Angles]
AT=A′T   [Given]
∴ΔCAT≅ΔRA′T   [By SAS congruence rule]
⇒∠CAT=∠RA′T   [Corresponding parts of congruent triangles]
But ∠CAT and ∠RA′T are alternate interior angles.
If the pair of alternate interior angles is equal then the lines are parallel.
⇒CA∥A′R.  


Question 95.

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.


Question 96.

In Δ1 and Δ2:
∠AOD=∠COD=90∘ (Diagonals of square intersect at right angles)
AD=CD (Sides of a square; hypotenuse)
OD=DO (Common)
Hence,  Δ1≅Δ2 (By RHS congruence rule) ---------------------1
Similarly, Δ4≅Δ3 (By RHS congruence rule) ---------------------2
In Δ1 and Δ4
∠AOD=∠AOB=90∘ (Diagonals of square intersect at right angles)
AD=AB (Sides of a square; hypotenuse)
OA=AO (Common)
Hence, Δ1≅Δ4 (By RHS congruence rule) -------------------3
Similarly, Δ2≅Δ3 (By RHS congruence rule) ----------------4
From 1, 2, 3 and 4 we can say that all the triangles i.e. Δ1, Δ2, Δ3 and Δ4 are 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.

In ΔAEB and ΔCBD,
EB=BD   [Given]
AE=CB   [Given]
∠A=∠C=90∘ [Given]
Hypotenuse and one side of a right-angled triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and one side of another right-angled triangle.

In ΔADB and ΔADC
AB=AC    [Given]
∠ADB=∠ADC=90∘   [Given]
AD=AD   [common]
Hence, ΔADB≅ΔADC [By RHS congruence rule…….(1)]

In ΔBDA  and  ΔCDA
∠B=∠C    [Given]
∠BAD=∠CAD   [Given, DA is an angle bisector ]
AD=AD   [Common side]
⇒ΔBDA≅ΔCDA  [  AAS criteria] 
(b) we observe that in the given figures, there are no pairs of congruent sides. Since all of the congruency theorems call for at least one pair of congruent sides, there isn't enough information to prove that the triangles are congruent. Two triangles cannot be proved congruent just by AAA because triangles with same angles can have different sizes.

In a rectangle opposite sides are equal and parallel.
In ΔOAD and ΔOCB,
∠ODA=∠OBC
[Alternate interior angles; AD∥BC and BD as transversal]
AD = BC  [Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal]
∠OAD=∠OCB  
[Alternate interior angles; AD∥BC and AC as transversal]
Hence ΔOAD≅ΔOCB   [By ASA congruence rule]
Equating the corresponding parts of congruent triangles, we get:
AO = CO
BO = DO
⇒  Diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other.
