In page 148 Qn. 3
BD and CE are altitudes of Triangle ABC such that BD=CE.
1. State the 3 pairs of equal parts in triangles CBD and BCE ?
2. Is triangle CBD congruent to triangle BCE?
3. Is Angle DCB=Angle EBC ?

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

From given information we form our diagram , As :



Here ,  BD and CE are altitude , So CED  =  BDC  = 90°                        --- ( 1 )

1 ) 3 pairs of equal parts in triangles CBD and BCE :

BD  =  CE                                                                       ( Given )

BDC  =  CED  = 90°                                               ( From equation 1 )

And

BC  =  BC                                                                       ( Common side )

2 ) CBD  BCE                                                     ( By RHL rule )


3 ) DCB = EBC                                                        ( By CPCT )


Hope this information will clear your doubts about Congruence of Triangles.
