Class9 Maths - Geometry: Rules for Congruence shapes
Congruence in geometry just means that two shapes are identical twins . They are the exact same size and the exact same shape. If you picked one up and placed it on top of the other, they would match perfectly. The 5 Ways to Prove Triangles are Congruent To prove two triangles are identical, you don't need to measure every single side and angle. You only need three specific pieces of information: SAS: Side - Angle - Side (The angle must be between the sides). ASA: Angle - Side - Angle (The side must be between the angles). AAS: Angle - Angle - Side. SSS: Side - Side - Side (All three sides match). RHS: Right angle - Hypotenuse - Side. 1. The Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Rule Q: If AB = PQ , BC = QR , and the angle between them ( angle B = angle Q ) is the same, are the triangles congruent? Step 1: Look at what we have: Two sides match, and the "corner" (angle) between them matches. Step 2: This fits the SAS rule perfectly. Conclusion: Yes, they are congruent. 2. The Is...
