Question

Copy the problem, mark the givens in the diagram. Given: CS ≅ HR, ∠CHS ≅ ∠HCR, ∠CSH ≅ ∠HRC, Prove: CR ≅ HS

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. CS ≅ HR, ∠CHS ≅ ∠HCR, ∠CSH ≅ ∠HRC — given

2. ∆CRH ~ ∆HSC — AA similarity theorem

3. ∠SCH ≅ ∠RHC — corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent

4. CH ≅ HC — reflexive property of congruence

5. ∆CRH ≅ ∆HSC — SAS congruence theorem

6. CR ≅ HS — CPCTC
