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.}

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
My 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.
Hiya Gupta
8thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice

10thAbout Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
Shreya Shrivastava
8thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
Aman Kumar Shrivastava
10thIt was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
Eshan Arora
8thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Cheshta
10thAbhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
Manish Kumar
10thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

7thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Yatharthi Sharma
10thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
