Triangles

SAS Congruence Axiom

Two triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle of one
triangle are equal to the two sides and the included angle of the other
triangle.

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side

 ASA Congruence Axiom
Two triangles are congruent if two angles and the included side of one
triangle are equal to the two angles and the included side of the other
triangle.

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Side

 AAS Congruence Axiom
When two angles and a non-included side of a triangle are equal to the
corresponding angles and sides of another triangle, then the triangles are
said to be congruent.

AAS stands for Angle- Side-Angle

 RHS Congruence Axiom
If the hypotenuse and a side of a right-angled triangle are equivalent to
the hypotenuse and a side of the second right-angled triangle, then the
two right triangles are said to be congruent by the RHS rule.

RHS stands for Right angled-Hypotenuse-Side

 SSS Congruence Axiom
If all the three sides of one triangle are equivalent to the corresponding
three sides of the second triangle, then the two triangles are said to be
congruent by SSS rule.

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side

ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AD = BC and ∠DAB = ∠CBA. Prove that
(i) ΔABD ≅ ΔBAC
(ii) BD = AC
(iii) ∠ABD = ∠BAC.
AD and BC are equal perpendiculars to a line
segment AB. Show that CD bisects AB.
Two sides AB and BC and median AM of one triangle ABC are respectively
equal to sides PQ and QR and median PN of ΔPQR (see the figure). Show
that:
(i) ΔABM ≅ ΔPQN
(ii) ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR
In the given figure, PS is the median produced up
to F, and QE and RF are perpendiculars drawn
from Q and R. Prove that QE = RF.
