Answer:

Only one pair of triangle is congruent.i., ΔABC ≅ ΔGHI

Explanation:

Given: ΔABC , ΔDEF , ΔGHI

AB = DF , AB = GI , BC = HI , DE = HI , ∠B = ∠D = ∠I

To find: Two Congruent traingles.

We check all cases of possible congreuent triangle with given information.

1). In ΔABC and ΔDEF

AB = DF ( given )

∠B = ∠D ( given )

ΔABC and ΔDEF are not congruent as sufficient information is not given i.e., either a pair of side (BC=DE) or a pair of angle( ∠A=∠F).

2). In ΔDEF and ΔGHI

DE = HI ( given )

∠D = ∠I ( given )

ΔDEF and ΔGHI are not congruent as sufficient information is not given.i.e., either a pair of side(DF=IG) or a pair of angle(∠E=∠H).

3). In ΔABC and ΔGHI

AB = GI ( given )

BC = HI ( given )

∠B = ∠I ( given )

ΔABC ≅ ΔGHI by SAS ( Side-Angle-Side) congruence rule

Therefore, Only one pair of triangle is congruent.i., ΔABC ≅ ΔGHI
