The correct Answer is:
To determine who wrote the correct statements, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Varun's Statement Varun wrote: "Two rectangles are congruent if they have the same perimeter." - **Congruent Definition**: Two shapes are congruent if they are identical in shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal. - **Perimeter**: The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as \( P = 2 \times (length + width) \). - **Counterexample**: Consider two rectangles: - Rectangle 1: Length = 10, Width = 5 (Perimeter = 30) - Rectangle 2: Length = 15, Width = 0 (Perimeter = 30) These two rectangles have the same perimeter but are not congruent because their dimensions are different. **Conclusion**: Varun's statement is incorrect. ### Step 2: Analyze Kartik's Statement Kartik wrote: "Two squares are congruent if they have the same area." - **Area of a Square**: The area of a square is calculated as \( A = side^2 \). - **Congruence in Squares**: If two squares have the same area, then their side lengths must be equal. Let’s say: - Square A has side length \( a \) and area \( a^2 \). - Square B has side length \( b \) and area \( b^2 \). If \( a^2 = b^2 \), then \( a = b \) (since lengths cannot be negative). **Conclusion**: Kartik's statement is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze Sid's Statement Sid wrote: "Two circles are congruent if they have the same diameter." - **Diameter and Congruence**: The diameter of a circle is the distance across the circle through its center. - **Area of a Circle**: The area of a circle is calculated as \( A = \pi \times (radius)^2 \). If two circles have the same diameter, they also have the same radius. Thus, they will have the same area and be identical in shape and size. **Conclusion**: Sid's statement is correct. ### Final Conclusion - Varun's statement is incorrect. - Kartik's statement is correct. - Sid's statement is correct. Therefore, the correct answer is that **Kartik and Sid wrote the correct statements**.
