ANSWER THE QUESTION WITH EXPLAINATION

Answer 1

Explanation:

SSS

PB = QC (Given) (S)

BC (common side) (S)

QB = PC (Since ABC is isosceles triangle and PB = QC) (S)

Answer 2

• SAS criteria

Explanation:

Given is isosceles triangle as AB = AC, it means angles B and C measure same

Triangles PBC and QCB have common side BC, equal sides PB = QC as PB = AB - AP and QC = AC - AQ

So two sides and the angle between are congruent:

• BC ≅ BC, PB ≅ QC, ∠PBC ≅ ∠QCB
• So ΔPBC≅ΔQCB as per SAS criteria
