Congruence of Triangles
Congruence of Triangle
Congruence means that one figure will exactly superimpose the other figure. Two congruent line segments have the same length and conversely two lines segments of equal length are congruent. or we can say that two line segments are congruent if and only if their lengths are equal. Similarly two angles are congruent if and only if their measures are equal, or we can say that two angles BAC and EDF are congruent if m
Two triangles are congruent if and only if one of them can be made to superpose on the other, so as to cover it exactly. Let be two congruent triangles. Then, we can superpose
on
, so as to cover it exactly. In such a superposition the vertices of
will fall on the vertices of
, in some order. Let us assume that the vertex A falls on vertex D, vertex B on vertex E and vertex C on vertex F.
Then, side AB falls on DE, BC on EF and CA on FD. Also superposes on the corresponding angle
and
. Thus, the order in which the vertices match, automatically determines a correspondence between the sides and angles of the two triangles. And, if the superposition is exact i.e. the triangles are congruent, the corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Consequently, we get six equalities three of the corresponding sides and three of the corresponding angles. If
superposes on
exactly such that the vertices of
fall on the vertices of
in the following order

Then, we have the following six qualities |

Congruence Relation
From the definition of congruence of two triangles, we obtain the following results:
(i) Every triangle is congruent to itself i.e.,
(ii) If , then
(iii) If , and
, then
Note: It is important to write the correspondence of vertices correctly for writing of congruence of triangles in symbolic form because but
and the symbolic form is used to write corresponding parts of congruent triangles {C.P.C.T.}

Abhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.

8thWhen I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.

8thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

7thUsually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...

8thWe started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.

7thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
