Using the distance formula to calculate distance between vertices, our calculation shows that △DEF and △PQR both have corresponding side lengths that are equal in size.

  • Therefore,  △DEF ≅ △PQR.

Recall:

  • Distance between two vertices given their coordinates is calculated using the distance formula: [tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}[/tex]
  • Two congruent triangles will have corresponding sides that have equal lengths.

Find the side lengths of △DEF:

Distance between D(–6, 1) and E(1, 2) using [tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}[/tex]

  • Substitute

[tex]DE = \sqrt{(1 -(-6))^2 + (2 - 1)^2} \\\\DE = \sqrt{7^2 + 1^2} \\\\DE = \sqrt{50}[/tex]

Distance between D(–6, 1) and F(–1, –4):

  • Substitute

[tex]DF = \sqrt{(-1 -(-6))^2 + (-4 - 1)^2} \\\\DF = \sqrt{5^2 + (-5^2)} \\\\DF = \sqrt{50}[/tex]

Distance between E(1, 2) and F(–1, –4):

  • Applying the same formula and step above, [tex]\mathbf{EF = \sqrt{40} }[/tex]

Find the side lengths of △PQR:

Also, using the distance formula, the following are the side lengths of △PQR,

Distance between P(0, 5) and Q(7, 6): [tex]\mathbf{PQ = \sqrt{50}}[/tex]

Distance between P(0, 5) and R(5, 0): [tex]\mathbf{PR = \sqrt{50}}[/tex]

Distance between Q(7, 6) and R(5, 0): [tex]\mathbf{PR = \sqrt{40}}[/tex]

From our calculation, it shows that △DEF and △PQR both have corresponding side lengths that are equal in size.

  • Therefore,  △DEF ≅ △PQR.
