Two angles and one side in a triangle are equivalent to those in another triangle. Are the remaining sides and angles equivalent?

Only if the one side is between the two angles. If not, then we can't say. Maybe the rest are, and maybe they're not.

Answer with explanation:

It is given that Two angles and one side in a triangle are equivalent to those in another triangle.

Let A , B and C are two angles of Triangle.And P, Q and R are three Angles of another Triangle.

A=P-----(a)

B=Q-------(b)

→A+B+C=180°-----[Using Angle sum property of triangle]----(1)

→P+Q+R=180°-----[Using Angle sum property of triangle]----(2)

From (1) and (2)

→A+B+C=P+Q+R

Using a and b

C=R

⇒So,third Angle of two triangles are equal to each other .

⇒Now information about other two sides is not given.But the two triangles will be similar by Angle-Angle (Abbreviated as AA) Similarity.

⇒So,if the Triangles are similar then their corresponding sides will be proportional.

So,Third side will be equal to each other and corresponding side will be Proportional to each other.
