Free Congruence of Triangles Subjective Test 02 Practice Test - 7th grade 

Question 1

In the figure, the two triangles are congruent. The corresponding parts are marked. Complete the congruent statement ΔRAT  [1 MARK]

SOLUTION

Solution : Solution: 1 Mark

In the figure, the two triangles are congruent.

So, the corresponding congruent parts are:


A=O,R=W,T=N

Side AT = Side ON, Side AR = Side OW

We can write, ΔRATΔWON 

Question 2

If ΔABC and ΔPQR are to be congruent, name one additional pair of corresponding parts. Which criterion did you use? [2 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution : Naming: 1 Mark
Criterion: 1 Mark

Given, ΔABC and ΔPQR are congruent with,

B=Q=90

C=R

For ΔABC and ΔPQR to be congruent, the side in between the equal angles needs to be equal.
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯BC=¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯QR

ΔABC and ΔPQR are congruent by ASA congruence rule.

Then one additional pair is BC  = QR.

Given: AC = DF

AB = DE

BC = EF

So, ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF


[3 MARKS]

 

SOLUTION

Solution :

(a) Proof: 2 Marks
(b) Answer: 1 Mark



(a)Consider the two triangles :

In the two triangles,  

ABC = PQR

BAC = QPR

ACB = PRQ

But clearly, ΔABC is not congruent to ΔPQR.
As the sides of triangle are not equal.
Thus, AAA cannot be a congruence condition.

It actually tells that the two triangles are similar, but not congruent.

(b) Since, the three sides of the first triangle is equal to the corresponding three sides of the second triangle, by SSS congruence criterion ΔABC is congruent to ΔDEF.

Question 11

In the isosceles ΔABC with AB = AC. E and O are the midpoints of AB and AC respectively. 2OD = DE and OCD = 70o. Prove using congruency that EAO = 70o[4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Steps: 2 Marks
Proof: 2 Marks

In ΔABC,

OD + OE = DE

Multiplying both sides with 2:

2OD + 2OE = 2DE

DE + 2OE = 2DE (2OD = DE; given in question)

2OE = DE

So, OD = OE -------------- (1)

In ΔAOE and ΔDOC,

OD = OE [From (1)]

AOE = DOC   [Vertically Opposite Angles]

AO = OC   [O is the mid-point of AC]

ΔAOEΔDOC   [By SAS condition]

Hence, EAO = OCD = 70o [Corresponding parts of corresponding triangles]
