Q3: If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite to them are also congruent.

OR
In a correspondence of two triangles, if three sides of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding three sides of the other, then the two triangles are congruent (S.S.S ≅ S.S.S).

Q4: If two opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent and parallel, it is a parallelogram.
