(2) Similarly, (ii) If ABAC, it can be proved
thatABC >ACB.
But this is also against the condition,
(3) So neither AB!AC nor ABAC
?AB AC (Proved)
Theorem 9 (SSS criterion)
If the three sides of one triangle are equal to the three corresponding sides of
another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
In 'ABCand'DEF,AB = DE,AC = DF
andBC=EF,
'ABC#'ABC.
Theorem 10 (ASA criterion)
If two angles and the included side of a triangle are equal to two corresponding
angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
Let ABCandDEF be two triangles in which
theB=E,C =F. and the side BC
= the corresponding side EF, then the
triangles are congruent, i.e. 'ABC#'DEF.
Theorem 11 (HSA criterion)
If the hypotenuse and one side of a right-angled triangle are respectively equal
to the hypotenuse and one side of another right-angled triangle, the triangles
are congruent.
Let ABC and DEF be two right angled triangles, in which the hypotenuse AC=
hypotenuse DF and AB =DE, then 'ABC#'DEF..
Theorem 12
If one side of a triangle is greater than another, the angle opposite the greater
side is greater than the angle opposite the lesser sides.
Let ABC be a triangle whose AC >AB, then
ABC > ACB.
