  1. Line ‘l’ is the bisector of M and N is any point on ‘l’.  NA and NB are perpendiculars from N to the arms of M.

Show that

(i)  ΔMAN ≅  ΔMBN

(ii)  NA = NB

 

3.  State the S.A.S congruence rule.

4. PQR and SQR are two isosceles triangles on the        same base QR.

Show that  ΔPQS  =  ΔPRS.

 

5. In PQR, PS is the perpendicular bisector of OR.

Show that ΔPQR is an isosceles triangle   in which PQ = PR.

  1. State the R.H.S congruence rule.

 

  1. ΔPQR and ΔSQR are two isosceles triangles on the same base QR and vertices P and S are on the same side of QR.  If PS is extended to intersect QR at T.   Then prove that

(i)  Δ PQS   ≅  ΔPRS

(ii)  ΔPQT   ≅  ΔPRT

(iii)  PT bisects P as well as S.
