15. Assertion: In triangles ABC and PQR, ∠A = ∠P, ∠C = ∠R and AC = PR.
The two triangles are congruent by ASA congruence.
Reason: If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal
to two angles and the included side of the other triangle, then the
two triangles are congruent.

pairs of corresponding sides are equal
19. Assertion: the triangle in which two sides are equal is called
isosceles triangle.

unequal.
20. Assertion: SSA is a criterion for the congruence of triangles.

CASE BASED STUDY
Truss bridges are formed with a structure of connected elements that form triangular structures to
make up the bridge. Trusses are the triangles that connect to the top and bottom cord and two end
posts. You can see that there are some triangular shapes are shown in the picture given alongside
and these are represented as ΔABC, ΔCAD, and ΔBEA.
