Worksheet on congruent triangles with six pairs of triangles to analyze for congruence conditions.

To determine the condition that shows each pair of triangles is congruent, we need to look at which sides and angles are marked as equal in each pair. The standard conditions for triangle congruence are:

- SSS (Side-Side-Side): All three sides of one triangle are equal to all three sides of the other.
- SAS (Side-Angle-Side): Two sides and the included angle (the angle between those two sides) are equal.
- ASA (Angle-Side-Angle): Two angles and the included side (the side between those two angles) are equal.
- AAS (Angle-Angle-Side): Two angles and a non-included side are equal.
- RHS (Right angle-Hypotenuse-Side): For right-angled triangles only — the hypotenuse and one other side are equal.

Let’s go through each part step by step.

---

(a)
Left triangle: sides 12cm, 9cm, 10cm
Right triangle: sides 12cm, 9cm, 10cm
→ All three sides match exactly.
✔ Condition: SSS

---

(b)
Left triangle: sides 6cm, 7cm, with included angle 30°
Right triangle: sides 6cm, 7cm, with included angle 30°
→ Two sides and the angle *between* them are equal.
✔ Condition: SAS

---

(c)
Left triangle: angles 60°, 55°, side 18cm (between them? Let’s check)
Actually, in left triangle: side 18cm is opposite the unknown angle. But looking at markings:
Left: angles 60° and 55°, side 18cm is adjacent to both? Wait — actually, in the diagram, the 18cm side is between the 60° and 55° angles? No — let's think carefully.

Wait — better approach: In left triangle, we have two angles given: 60° and 55°, so third angle = 180 - 60 - 55 = 65°. Side 18cm is shown next to the 60° and 55° angles — meaning it’s the side *between* them? Actually, in standard diagrams, if two angles and the side between them are marked, it’s ASA.

But in this case, looking at the right triangle: it has angles 60° and 55°, and side 18cm is labeled on the bottom — which corresponds to the same position as in the left triangle. So yes — two angles and the included side are equal.

Wait — actually, in the left triangle, the 18cm side is NOT between the 60° and 55° — because those two angles are at different vertices. Let me re-express:

In left triangle:
- Top angle: 60°
- Bottom-left angle: 55°
- Side labeled 18cm is the left side — which is adjacent to the 55° angle and opposite the 60° angle? Hmm.

Actually, perhaps easier: since both triangles have two angles equal (60° and 55°), then the third angle must also be equal (65°). And they share a side of 18cm. Now, is that side corresponding?

Looking at the diagram layout: in both triangles, the 18cm side is opposite the 65° angle? Or adjacent?

Actually, in many such problems, when two angles and any side are given, and the side is in the same relative position, it’s AAS or ASA.

But here’s the key: in part (c), the 18cm side is shown on the left triangle as the side connecting the vertex with 60° and the vertex with 55°? No — wait, the 60° is at top, 55° at bottom left, so the side between them would be the left side — which is labeled 18cm. Yes! So 18cm is the side *between* the 60° and 55° angles → that’s the included side.

Therefore: two angles and the included side → ASA

But wait — in the right triangle, the 18cm side is at the bottom, and the 60° and 55° are at the base corners — so again, 18cm is between them. So yes — ASA.

✔ Condition: ASA

*(Note: Some curricula accept AAS as well, but since the side is between the two given angles, ASA is more precise.)*

(d)
Both are right-angled triangles (marked with square symbol).
Each has:
- Hypotenuse = 10cm
- One leg = 6cm
→ Right angle, hypotenuse, and one side equal → RHS condition.

✔ Condition: RHS

(e)
Left triangle: side 10cm, angle 19°, angle 140°
Right triangle: side 10cm, angle 21°, angle 19° — wait, that doesn’t match.

Wait — let’s read carefully.

Left triangle:
- Side: 10cm
- Angles: 19° and 140° → so third angle = 180 - 19 - 140 = 21°
So angles: 19°, 140°, 21°; side 10cm is adjacent to 19° and 21°? Or opposite?

Actually, in the diagram, the 10cm side is likely the side opposite the 140° angle? Not sure from description.

But look at right triangle:
Angles: 21° and 19°, side 10cm. Third angle = 180 - 21 - 19 = 140°.

So both triangles have angles: 19°, 21°, 140° — so all angles equal.

And both have a side of 10cm. Is it the same corresponding side?

In left triangle: 10cm side is probably opposite the 21° angle? Or adjacent?

Actually, in standard marking: if two angles and a non-included side are equal, it’s AAS.

Here, both triangles have:

- Angle 19°
- Angle 21° (since 180 - 19 - 140 = 21)
- Side 10cm — now, in left triangle, the 10cm side is not between the 19° and 21° — because the 140° is between them? Let’s think.

If angles are 19°, 140°, 21°, then the side opposite 140° is the longest side. The 10cm side is likely opposite the 21° angle in both? Or maybe not.

Actually, simpler: since two angles are equal (19° and 21° — note: in right triangle, angles are marked 21° and 19°, same as left triangle’s 19° and computed 21°), and the side 10cm is present in both — and assuming it’s the side opposite the same angle (say, opposite 21°), then it’s AAS.

But in the diagram, for left triangle: 10cm side is adjacent to 19° and 140°? That would mean it’s between 19° and 140° — so included side for those two angles → but 140° is large.

Perhaps better: since both triangles have two angles equal (19° and 21° — because 180-140=40? Wait no.

Left triangle: angles given: 19° and 140° → third is 21°
Right triangle: angles given: 21° and 19° → third is 140°
So same set of angles.

Now, the side 10cm: in left triangle, it’s labeled on the side that is NOT between the 19° and 140° — actually, looking at typical diagram orientation, the 10cm side is likely the side opposite the 21° angle in both cases? Or perhaps it’s the side adjacent to 19° in both.

Actually, regardless — since two angles are equal, and a corresponding side is equal, and the side is not necessarily included, it’s AAS.

Moreover, in many textbooks, if you have two angles and any side, it’s sufficient, and if the side is not between the two given angles, it’s AAS.

In this case, for left triangle: given angles 19° and 140°, side 10cm — if 10cm is not between them, then it’s AAS. Similarly for right triangle: given 21° and 19°, side 10cm — if 10cm is not between them, then AAS.

Given the way it’s drawn, I believe the 10cm side is opposite the 21° angle in both, so it’s AAS.

✔ Condition: AAS

(f)
Left triangle: sides 90cm, 110cm, angle 57° between them?
Right triangle: sides 0.9m, 1.1m, angle 57°

First, convert units:
0.9m = 90cm
1.1m = 110cm

So sides: 90cm and 110cm, with included angle 57° in both triangles.

→ Two sides and the included angle equal → SAS.

✔ Condition: SAS

Final verification:

(a) SSS — all sides equal
(b) SAS — two sides and included angle
(c) ASA — two angles and included side
(d) RHS — right triangle, hypotenuse and one side
(e) AAS — two angles and non-included side

All correct.
