NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Mathematics Chapter 7 Congruence Of Triangles

Complete the following statements:

(a) Two line segments are congruent if __________.

(b) Among two congruent angles, one has a measure of 70°; the measure of the other angle is __________.

(c) When we write ∠A = ∠ B, we actually mean __________.

Give any two real-life examples for congruent shapes.

If ΔABC ≅ ΔFED under the correspondence ABC ↔ FED, write all the Corresponding congruent parts of the triangles.

If ΔDEF ≅ ΔBCA, write the part(s) of ΔBCA that correspond to

(i) ∠E (ii) $\frac{}{EF}$ (iii) ∠F (iv) $\frac{}{DF}$

Which congruence criterion do you use in the following?

(a) Given: AC = DF

AB = DE

BC = EF

So, ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF

(b) Given: ZX = RP

RQ = ZY

∠PRQ = ∠XZY

So, ΔPQR ≅ ΔXYZ

(c) Given: ∠MLN = ∠FGH

∠NML = ∠GFH

ML = FG

So, ΔLMN ≅ ΔGFH

(d) Given: EB = DB

AE = BC

∠A = ∠C = 90°

So, ΔABE ≅ ΔCDB

You want to show that ΔART ≅ ΔPEN,

(a) If you have to use SSS criterion, then you need to show

(i) AR = (ii) RT = (iii) AT =

(b) If it is given that ∠T = ∠N and you are to use SAS criterion, you need to have

(i) RT = and (ii) PN =

(c) If it is given that AT = PN and you are to use ASA criterion, you need to have

(i) ? (ii) ?

You have to show that ΔAMP ≅ AMQ.

In the following proof, supply the missing reasons.

In ΔABC, ∠A = 30°, ∠B = 40° and ∠C = 110°

In ΔPQR, ∠P = 30°, ∠Q = 40° and ∠R = 110°

A student says that ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR by AAA congruence criterion. Is he justified? Why or why not?

In a squared sheet, draw two triangles of equal areas such that

(i) The triangles are congruent.

(ii) The triangles are not congruent.

What can you say about their perimeters?

Explain, why

ΔABC ≅ ΔFED
