Question

Basing your answer on the appearance of the figures below, identify whether the mathematical expression is true or false.

ΔROB ≅ ΔDFE


True or False

Answer 1

Answer : The mathematical expression is false.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given 4 triangles in which ΔROB & ΔPTA and ΔDEF & ΔYXW are appears congruent.

First we have to show that ΔROB and ΔPTA appear congruent.

Side RO appears equal to Side PT

Side OB appears equal to Side TA

Side RB appears equal to Side PA

∴ ΔROB ≅ ΔPTA (by SSS)

Now we have to show that ΔDEF and ΔYXW appear congruent.

Side DE appears equal to Side YX

Side EF appears equal to Side XW

Side DF appears equal to Side YW

∴ ΔDEF ≅ ΔYXW (by SSS)

According to given expression, ΔROB and ΔDEF have different shapes and sizes.

So, ΔROB not appear congruent to ΔDEF

Therefore, the mathematical expression is false.

Answer 2

The mathematical expression is false

Explanation:

* Lets use the figure to answer the question

- There are four triangles in the figure

- Δ ROB and Δ PTA appear congruent because:

# The side RO appears equal the side PT

∴ RO ≅ PT

# The side OB appears equal the side TA

∴ OB ≅ TA

# The side RB appears equal the side PA

∴ RB ≅ PA ⇒ SSS

∴ Δ ROB ≅ Δ PTA

- Δ DEF and Δ YXW appear congruent because:

# The side DE appears equal the side YX

∴ DE ≅ YX

# The side EF appears equal the side XW

∴ EF ≅ XW

# The side DF appears equal the side YW

∴ DF ≅ YW

∴ Δ DEF ≅ Δ YXW ⇒ SSS

- Δ ROB and Δ DEF have different shapes and sizes

∵ Δ ROB not appear congruent to Δ DEF

∴ Δ ROB ≠ Δ DEF

∴ The mathematical expression is false
