7.03 Testing for triangle congruence

Interactive practice questions

Consider the two triangles in the diagram below:

Two triangles, $\triangle PQR$PQR and $\triangle ABC$ABC, have their vertices marked with a solid dot. The triangle above is $\triangle PQR$PQR labeled with vertices $P$P, $Q$Q, and $R$R. The right-angled $\triangle PQR$PQR has a vertical side $PR$PR measuring $4$4 units, a horizontal line $RQ$RQ with no indicated measurement, and the hypotenuse side $PQ$PQ measuring $7$7 units. There is a small square marking the right angle at vertex $R$R. The triangle below is $\triangle ABC$ABC labeled with vertices $A$A, $B$B, and $C$C. The right-angled $\triangle ABC$ABC has a vertical side $AC$AC measuring $4$4 units, a horizontal line $BC$BC with no indicated measurement, and the hypotenuse side $AB$AB measuring $7$7 units. There is a small square marking the right angle at vertex $C$C.
