How do you prove rhs congruence?
Here is the answer to your query. Consider two ∆ABC and ∆PQR. In these two triangles ∠B = ∠Q = 90�, AB = PQ and AC = PR. We can prove the R.H.S congruence rule i.e. to prove ∆ABC ≅ ∆PQR We need the help of SSS congruence rule. We have AB = PQ, and AC = PR So, to prove ∆ABC ≅ ∆PQR in SSS congruence rule we just need to show BC = QR Now, using Pythagoras theorems in ∆ABC and ∆PQR Now, in ∆ABC and ∆PQR AB = PQ, BC = QR, AC = PR ∴ ∆ABC ≅ ∆PQR [Using SSS congruence rule] So, we have AB = PQ, AC = PR, ∠B = ∠Q = 90� and we have proved ∆ABC ≅ ∆PQR. This is proof of R.H.S. congruence rule. Hope! This will help you. Cheers!!!
