CONGRUENT TRIANGLES DEFINATION ‘Two triangles are said to be congruent if if they have the same shape and size. And if we superimpose one on other, then it will cover it completely and exactly In other words, when two triangles are congruent they will have exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles. The equal sides and angles may not be in the same position (if there is a turn or a flip), but they are there. A D A ACB =A DFE \ CRITERION OF CONGRUENCY SSS ( SIDE IDE ) CONGRUENCY ition: Two triangles are said to be congruent if all three sides in one triangle are congruent or equal to the Def corresponding sides of the other triangle. In Q ABC and A XYZ n Zz AB=XY [given] c BC=YZ [given] X AC =2X [given] => AABC = AXYZ [SSS Congruency ] Y SAS ( SIDE - ANGLE - SIDE ) CONGRUENCY Definition: This congruency states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent. In A MNP and A QRS ° MP = RS (given] ZMPN = ZRSQ. [given] NP =QS [given] => A MPN = ARSQ [SAS Congruency ] ASA ( ANGLE - SIDE - ANGLE ) CONGRUENCY Definition: 1f two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. In a sense, this is basically the opposite of the SAS Postulate. A E In A ABC and A DEF ZACB=ZDFE [given] BC = EF [given] ZABC = ZDEF [given] => A ACB DFE [ ASA Congruency ] AAS ( ANGLE - ANGLE - SIDE ) CONGRUENCY Definition: 1f two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent. In order to use this postulate, itis essential that the congruent sides not be included between the two pairs of congruent angles. In A REN and A RVN ZREN=ZRVN [given] ZERN = ZVRN [given] RN=NR {Common} => A REN =A RVN [AAS Congruency ] RHS ( RIGHT ANGLE - HYPOTENUSE - SIDE ) CONGRUENCY. Definition: in two right-angled triangles, if the length of the hypotenuse and one side of one triangle is equal to the length of the hypotenuse and one side of the other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. In A ABC and A XYZ ZABC=ZXYZ [Each 90°] BC= YZ [given] AC =XZ [given] => AABC =A XYZ [RHS Congruency ] IMPORTANT POINTS SSA IS NOT A CONGRUENCY. AAA IS NOT A CONGRUENCY CRITERION: If we superpose first triangle on the other it will not cover it completely and exactly therefore, we can say that they have different shape and size, though they have all the corresponding angles equal. Hence , it is not a congruency criterion.
