Two Triangles | Find Equal Sides | ASA Congruence

📐 Two Triangles | Find Equal Sides

ΔABC: AB = 3cm, ∠A = 50°, ∠B = 70° | ΔPQR: QR = 3cm, ∠Q = 70°, ∠R = 50°

△ ABC
A B C 3 cm
∠A = 50° ∠B = 70° ∠C = 60°
△ PQR
P Q R 3 cm
∠Q = 70° ∠R = 50° ∠P = 60°
🔍 ASA Congruence Criterion: Two angles and the included side are equal 📐 Triangles are congruent → corresponding sides are equal
