From the shape shown below, write the names of the pairs of congruent line segments. i. seg AB ≅ seg DC ii. seg AE ≅ seg BH iii. seg EF ≅ seg ___ iv. seg DF ≅ seg ___
Answer
seg EF ≅ seg AD ≅ seg BC ≅ seg HG seg DF ≅ seg CG ≅ seg AE ≅ seg BH
Using the ruler, measure the lengths of seg AB and seg PQ. Are they of same length? Trace the seg AB on a sheet of transparent paper. Now place this new segment on PQ verify that if point A is placed on point P, then B falls on Q.
l(AB) = ___ l(PQ) = ___
Answer
l(AB) = 4 cm l(PQ) = 4 cm Since the length of two segments is the same, if placed on one another, they will coincide.
Can a triangle be drawn if the three angles are given, but not any side? How many such triangles can be drawn?
Answer
Yes a triangle can be drawn. Since the length of side is not given, any length of side can be selected and then triangle can be constructed. We will get different triangles for different length of sides.
