State which pairs of triangles are similar. Write the similarity criterion used by you for answering the question and also write the pairs of similar triangles in the symbolic form :
Answer
In Δ DEF,
∠D = 70°, ∠E = 80°
⇒ ∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 180° [By angle sum property of triangle]
⇒ 70° + 80° + ∠F = 180°
⇒ ∠F + 150° = 180°
⇒ ∠F = 180° - 150°
⇒ ∠F = 30°
In Δ PQR
∠Q = 80° , ∠R = 30°
⇒ ∠Q + ∠R + ∠P = 180° [By angle sum property pf triangle]
⇒ 80° + 30° + ∠P = 180°
⇒ ∠P + 110° = 180°
⇒ ∠P = 180° - 110°
⇒ ∠P = 70°.
In Δ DEF and Δ PQR,
⇒ ∠D = ∠P = 70°
⇒ ∠E = ∠Q = 80°
⇒ ∠F = ∠R = 30°
Hence, Δ DEF ~ Δ PQR by A.A.A. axiom.
