Introduction:

The concepts covered in Triangles Class 9 are important since they are carried on
to higher education levels. For this reason, students are advised to learn the
concept completely. The purpose of incorporating “Triangles” chapter in the NCERT
textbook for Class 9 Maths is to teach students the following concepts:

Triangle congruence
SAS, ASA, SSS and RHS Congruence Rule
Triangle Properties
Triangle Inequalities

Congruent Triangles

In a pair of triangles if all three corresponding sides and three corresponding


angles are exactly equal, then the triangles are said to be congruent.

Criteria for Congruency

Learning the congruence of triangles is very important to draw conclusions from the
different polygon congruences. It has been used in real life, such as the
construction of identical buildings, and so on. The following are the criteria for
the congruency of the triangles.

SAS
ASA
AAS

SSS
RHS

symbolically, it is expressed as ΔABC ≅ ΔXYZ

SSS Criteria for Congruency

If the three sides of one triangle are equal to the three sides of another
triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
If all sides are exactly the same, then their corresponding angles must also be
exactly the same.
Properties of Isosceles Triangle

Isosceles Triangle Property

Angles opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal.

Converse of Isosceles Triangle Property

The sides opposite the equal angles of a triangle are equal.

Inequalities in Triangles

Relationship between unequal sides of the triangle and the angles opposite to it.

If 2 sides of a triangle are unequal, then the angle opposite to the longer side
will be larger than the angle opposite to the shorter side.

Triangle Inequality
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the
third side.
