Question #207895

Sketch a counterexample showing that each statement is false:


1) Two triangles with three pairs of congruent angles must also have three pairs of congruent sides


Expert's answer

The statement is completely FALSE

Two triangles with three pairs of congruent angles are not neccessarily required to have three pairs of congruent sides.

Example:-

Let ΔABC\Delta ABC and ΔPQR\Delta PQR are equilateral

then

AP=60°BQ=60°CR=60°\angle A \approx\angle P=60\degree\\\angle B\approx\angle Q=60\degree\\\angle C\approx\angle R=60\degree


But they have different lengths

AB=a and PQ=b

a/=bAB/=PQa\mathrlap{\,/}{=}b\\AB\mathrlap{\,/}{=}PQ





Both triangles have pairs of congruent angles but not pairs of congruent sides
