TRIANGLE CONGRUENCE POSTULATES WORKSHEET
1. In the diagram below, prove that ΔPQW ≅ ΔTSW.
2. In the diagram below, prove that ΔABC ≅ ΔFGH.
3. In the diagram below, prove that ΔAEB ≅ ΔDEC.
4. In the diagram below, prove that ΔABD ≅ ΔEBC.
5. In the diagram below, prove that ΔEFG ≅ ΔJHG.
1. Answer :
|
Statements PQ ≅ ST PW ≅ TW QW ≅ SW ΔPQW ≅ ΔTSW |
Reasons Given Given Given SSS Congruence Postulate |
2. Answer :
Because AB = 5 in triangle ABC and FG = 5 in triangle FGH,
AB ≅ FG
Because AC = 3 in triangle ABC and FH = 3 in triangle FGH,
AC ≅ FH
Use the distance formula to find the lengths of BC and GH.
Length of BC :
BC = √[(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2]
Substitute (x1, y1) = B(-7, 0) and (x2, y2) = C(-4, 5).
BC = √[(-4 + 7)2 + (5 - 0)2]
= √[32 + 52]
= √[9 + 25]
= √34
Length of GH :
GH = √[(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2]
Substitute (x1, y1) = B(1, 2) and (x2, y2) = C(6, 5).
GH = √[(6 - 1)2 + (5 - 2)2]
= √[52 + 32]
= √[25 + 9]
= √34
Conclusion :
Because BC = √34 and GH = √34,
BC ≅ GH
All the three pairs of corresponding sides are congruent. By SSS congruence postulate,
ΔABC ≅ ΔFGH
