MCQ

In triangles ABC and PQR, AB = AC, $\angle\text{C} = \angle\text{P}$ and $\angle\text{B} = \angle\text{Q}.$ The two triangles are:

A
Congruent but not isosceles.
B
Isosceles and congruent.
C
Isosceles but not congruent.
D
Neither congruent nor isosceles.

Answer

Isosceles but not congruent.
Solution:
Given: $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{PQR}, \ \text{AB = AC}, \ \angle\text{C} = \angle\text{P}$ and $\angle\text{B} = \angle\text{Q}.$

$\text{AB = AC}$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{B} = \angle\text{C}$ (opposite angles to equal sides are equal)
Hence, $\triangle\text{ABC}$ is an isosceles triangle.
$\angle\text{C} = \angle\text{P}$ and $\angle\text{B} = \angle\text{Q}$ (given)
$⇒\angle\text{P} = \angle\text{Q}\ \ (∴\angle\text{B} = \angle\text{C})$
$⇒ \text{QR} = \text{PR}$ (opposite sides to equal angles are equal)
Hence, $\triangle\text{PQR}$ is an isosceles triangle.
So, the two triangles are isosceles but not congruent.
As AAA is not the criterion for a triangle to be congruent.
