It is given that,
∠MLN=∠FGH,
∠NML=∠HFG,
ML=FG.
⇒ The two angles and an included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and an included side of other triangles.

Consider two triangles, ΔABC andΔPQR in which,
∠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 andΔPQR
∠ABC=∠PQR [Given]
∠BAC=∠QPR [ Proved above]
AB=PQ[Given]
⇒ΔABC≅ΔPQR [ ASA congruency rule]
⇒ These triangles are always congruent.

In a rectangleopposite sides are equal and parallel.
In ΔOADandΔOCB,
∠ODA=∠OBC
[Alternate interior angles; AD∥BC and BDas transversal]
AD = BC [Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal]
∠OAD=∠OCB
[Alternate interior angles; AD∥BC and ACas 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.

(a) In ΔABC and ΔFED,
∠B=∠E=90∘ [Given]
∠A=∠F [Given]
BC=ED [Given]
⇒ Two angles and one side of ΔABC are equal totwoangles and one side ofΔFED.
Therefore, ΔABC≅ΔFED [AAS congruence rule]
(b)Sum of the angles of a triangle = 180∘
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180∘
∠A = 180∘– (50∘ + 60∘) = 180∘ – 110∘ = 70∘

(a)If three sides of one triangle are equal to the threesides of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent to each other by SSS congruence criterion.
⇒ Both triangles look like themirror image of each other.
⇒ Both the triangles superimpose on each other.
So, if the sides of a triangleare 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 ΔCATandΔRA′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 ∠CATand∠RA′T are alternate interior angles.
If the pair of alternate interior angles is equal then the lines are parallel.
⇒CA∥A′R.
