Congruence Of Triangles
Explain, why
ΔABC ≅ ΔFED
Given that, ∠ABC = ∠FED (1)
∠BAC = ∠EFD (2)
The two angles of ΔABC are equal to the two respective angles of ΔFED. Also, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180º. Therefore, third angle of both triangles will also be equal in measure.
∠BCA = ∠EDF (3)
Also, given that, BC = ED (4)
By using equation (1), (3), and (4), we obtain
ΔABC ≅ ΔFED (ASA criterion)

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?
