I already drew the two triangles on the graph.
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
So u mean, u r given only co-ordinates.
Then what should u do is this: -
Apply Distance formula; i.e., \[\text{Distance}=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}.\]
And prove all the sides equal by SSS congruency.
Thats what u should do:)
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
Any doubt?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
let me try.
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
k:)

okay, for AB I got \[\sqrt{36}\]
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
so calculate other sides too.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
alright
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
:)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for the other two, I got \[\sqrt{64}\] and \[\sqrt{100}\]

k! just do the same for other triangle.
& compare corresponding sides.
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
u must find that corresponding sides of 2 triangles are equal
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
clear?
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
????????
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay, alright.

hmm........ well done:)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
all but two sides were congruent.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
all but one*
OpenStudy (anonymous):
????
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
u mean one-one side of each triangle isn't congruent?

AC and DF
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
so must must must be a calculation mistake
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay, I got it.
Sorry. Now they all are congruent.
OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
