Congruence of Triangles – 2

Congruence –
4) S-A-A Test of Congruence -
If two angles of a triangle and the side not included by them are congruent
with the corresponding two angles and the side not included by them of the
other triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

In △ABC and △P QR, If ∠BAC = ∠QP R, ∠ABC = ∠P QR and BC = QR,


then △ABC ∼
= △P QR by S-A-A test.
∴ AB = P Q, AC = P R and ∠C = ∠R(C − P − C − T )

5) R-H-S Test of Congruence -


If the hypotenuse and one side of a right-angled triangle are equal to the
corresponding hypotenuse and side of the other right-angled triangle, then
the two triangles are congruent.

• R-H-S Test is applicable if and only if the triangles are right-angled triangles.

In △ABC and △P QR, If AB = P Q, ∠ABC = ∠P QR = 90◦ and AC = P R,


then △ABC ∼
= △P QR by R-H-S test.
∴ BC = QR, ∠BAC = ∠QP R and ∠ACB = ∠P RQ (C-P-C-T)
