Maths 5 Mark Question

ii. In ∆PRQ and ∆TRS,
side PR ≅ side TR … [Given]
∠PRQ ≅ ∠TRS …[Vertically opposite angles]
side RQ ≅ side RS … [Given]
∴ ∆PRQ ≅ ∆TRS …[by SAS test]
∴ side PQ ≅ side TS …[Corresponding sides of congruent triangles]
∠RPQ ≅ ∠RTS …[Corresponding sides of congruent triangles]
∠PQR ≅ ∠TSR …[Corresponding sides of congruent triangles]

iii. In ∆DCH and ∆DCF,
∠DCH ≅ ∠DCF …[Given]
∠DHC ≅ ∠DFC …[Given]
side DC ≅ side DC …[Common side]
∴ ∆DCH ≅ ∆DCF …[by AAS test]
∴ side HC ≅ side FC …[Corresponding sides of congruent triangles]
side DH ≅ side DF…[Corresponding sides of congruent triangles]
∠HDC ≅ ∠FDC ….[Corresponding sides of congruent triangles]

ii.

The two triangles are congruent by hypotenuse-side test in the correspondence KJI ↔ LJI.

iii.

The two triangles are congruent by SSS test in the correspondence HEG ↔ FGE.

iv.
The two triangles are congruent by ASA test is the correspondence SMA ↔ OPT.

v

The two triangles are congruent by ASA test or SAS test or SAA test in the correspondence MTN ↔ STN.

∴ ∆STU ≅ ∆XZY, or ∆SUT ≅ ∆XYZ, or
∆TUS ≅ ∆ZYX, or ∆TSU ≅ ∆ZXY, or
∆UTS ≅ ∆YZX, or ∆UST ≅ ∆YXZ

b. If ∆XYZ ≅ ∆STU, then
∠Y ≅ ∠T, ∠Z ≅ ∠U,
seg XY ≅ seg ST, seg XZ ≅ seg SU
∴ But, all the above statements are wrong. The statement AXYZ ≅ ASTU is wrong.

1. ∠DFE i.e. ∠F is the angle opposite to side DE.
2. Side DF is the side opposite to ∠E.
3. ∠EDF i.e. ∠D is included by side DE and side DF.
4. Side EF is included by ∠E and ∠F.
5. ∠DEF and ∠EDF i.e. ∠E and ∠D are adjacent to side DE.
