If the areas of two similar triangles are equal,prove that they are congruent

Answered by admin @ 16/08/2021

Use the theorem that the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides , then prove that they are congruent.

Solution:

[Fig is in the attachment]

Given: ΔABC ~ ΔPQR. &

ar ΔABC =ar ΔPQR

To Prove: ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR

Proof: Since, ΔABC ~ ΔPQR
ar ΔABC =ar ΔPQR. (given)

ΔABC / ar ΔPQR = 1

⇒ AB²/PQ² = BC²/QR² = CA²/PR² = 1

[ USING THEOREM OF AREA OF SIMILAR TRIANGLES]

⇒ AB= PQ , BC= QR & CA= PR

Thus, ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR
[BY SSS criterion of congruence]
