If the areas of two similar triangles are equal, prove that they are congruent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Please refer to video for the figure. Here, we are given,
`Delta ABC ~ Delta PQR`
It means,
`(Area(Delta ABC))/(Area(DeltaPQR)) = (AB)^2/(PQ)^2 = (CA)^2/(RP)^2 = (BC)^2/(QR)^2`
Now, we are given,
`Area(Delta ABC) = Area(Delta PQR)`
So,`(AB)^2/(PQ)^2 = (CA)^2/(RP)^2 = (BC)^2/(QR)^2=1`
