size

3. It is a bit difficult to determine it by mere observation.
One may think of using
i) divider ii) a trace paper or
iii) drawing the figures on the plane paper and cut along the
boundary and superpose the pieces.
Such method of Superposition is not a proper way to
determine it.
We say figures of the same shape and size are
congruent figures.

4. Association with real number and congruency
We associate a unique real number with the figures of the same
type, which helps to determine the congruency.
(i) The real number associated with the segment is its length
and that associated with angle is its measure.
We know l(AB) = l (CD) seg AB ≈ seg CD
and m ABC = m PQR
(ii) To determine the congruency of triangles, we suggest on
activity leading to the concept of one to one correspondence.
5. One to one correspondence and congruency of
triangles.
Activity :
To determine whether the given ∆ABC and ∆ PQR are congruent
......
(i) Draw the given triangles on plane papers.
(ii) Cut the triangular pieces along the boundary.
(iii) Put one triangular piece over the other and try to match.
(iv) See whether the triangles cover each other exactly.
(v) Try to find out all possible ways of keeping one triangular
piece over the other.
(vi) What do you find ?

6. There are six different ways of putting one
triangle cover the other i.e. six different one to
one correspondence between the vertices of
the triangles.
ABC ↔ PQR , ABC ↔ QPR , ABC ↔ QRP
ABC ↔ RQP , ABC ↔ RPQ , ABC ↔ PRQ
Out of six different one to one
correspondences between the vertices of
triangles if there exist at least one, in which
triangles cover each other exactly than we
say the triangles are congruent.
7. Congruent Triangles
Out of the six one to one
correspondence between the vertices
of two triangles, if there exist at-least
one, one to one correspondence such
that, the sides and angles of one triangle
are congruent to corresponding sides
and angles of other triangle then the
triangles are said to be congruent with
respect to that correspondence and the
property known as congruence.
8. We have
ABC ↔ QPR such that
i ) A ≈ Q ii ) B ≈ P iii ) C ≈ R
iv) side AB ≈ side QP
v) side BC ≈ side PR
vi) side AC ≈ side QR
then ∆ABC ≈ ∆ QPR
i.e. To determine the congruency of triangle we require the six
conditions.
But do we really need all the six condition?
9. Sufficient conditions for congruency of the triangles
Three out of six conditions if property chosen are
sufficient to determine the congruency of the two
triangles. When these three conditions are satisfied then
the other three automatically get satisfied, hence the
triangles become congruent. This fact was first proved by
Euclid the father of Geometry.
These sufficient conditions are referred as
SAS, SSS, ASA, SAA tests.
SAS test is taken for granted
i.e. accepted as postulate and other are proved.
10. Activity : Verification of SAS Test :
i) Construct ∆ABC and ∆ PQR of the given measures as shown in the fig.
ii) Cut the triangular pieces along the boundary.
iii) Place triangular piece ABC over triangular piece DEF such that A fall
on D and AB falls along DE.
iv) Since AB = DF , so B falls on E
v) Since A = D , so AC will fall along DF
vi) But AC = DF
C will fall on F Thus AC will coincide with DF and BC will
coincide with EF
∆ ABC coincides with ∆ DEF
Hence ∆ ABC ≈ ∆ DEF

11. Included Angle is a must for SAS Test :
Activity :
’
i) Construct another ∆DEF of the same measures
i.e. EF = 5 cm, ED = 3.8 cm, C = 450
ii) See, we get two different triangles of the same measures.
∆ABC ≈ ∆DEF
∆ABC ≈ ∆D‘EF
∆DEF ≈ ∆D’EF
i.e. if the angle is not included then the triangles may or may
not be congruent.

3.8cm

12. Think it over
i) ∆ABC is isosceles triangle
with seg AB ≈ seg BC
We know that ∆ABC ≈ ∆ABC ---- (reflexivity)
State another congruent correspondences.
ii) ∆ ABC is equilateral triangle
We have ∆ABC ≈ ∆ABC ---- (reflexivity)
State another congruent correspondences.
iii) ∆ ABC is Scalene triangle
∆ABC ≈ ∆ABC ---- (reflexivity)
State another congruent correspondence if exit.
Also find another congruent correspondences between the
vertices of triangles in each case
i) ∆ABC ≈ ∆PQR and AB = AC (i.e. isosceles)
ii) ∆ABC ≈ ∆PQR and AB = BC = AC (i.e. equilateral)
iii) ∆ABC ≈ ∆PQR (scalene)
13. Isosceles Triangle Theorem and its Converse
In ∆ABC , seg AB ≈ seg BC C = A
Here we suggest activity for the verification
i) Construct ∆ABC where AB = BC
and measure C and A
ii) Construct ∆ABC where C = A
and measure AB and BC
iii) Construct ∆ABC where AB ≠ BC
and measure C and A
iv) Construct ∆ABC where C ≠ A
and measure AB and BC
What relations you get?
14. Proof of the theorem
The proof can be given by two ways
i) ∆ABC ≈ ∆CBD (SAS Test)
A ≈ C
ii) ∆ABC is isosceles triangle and AB = BC
∆ABC ≈ ∆CBA A ≈ C

15. Think it over
We find subtitle “Think it over” on many pages in this chapter. This
will motivate the students to think differently and develop the
higher order thinking skill. (HOTS)
Some instances are given from the text.
E.g. (i) Show : ABP ≈ ACP
This is the solved problem in the text book.
Then it is asked to think it over if the point is in the exterior of ∆ ABC
Show : ABP ≈ ACP

18. Think it over
The proof of 300 - 600 - 900 theorem is given
i.e. in 300 - 600 - 900 triangle, length of side
opposite to angle 300 is half the hypotenuse.
i) In turn it is asked to find the length of side
opposite to angle 600
ii) Again it is asked to modify the theorem.
iii) Think it over the converse of 300 - 600 -900
theorem.
19. Think it over
Do we really need two different tests ASA
and SAA, for congruency?
When two angles of triangle are congruent
with corresponding two angles of another
triangle, then the third pair also becomes
congruent.
Hence actually we do not need two different
tests ASA and SAA.
