Which of the following is not a criterion for congruence of triangles?
(A) SAS
(B) ASA
(C) SSA
(D) SSS
Solution.
Consider two triangles as shown:
In $A B C$ and $P Q R$, side $A B=P Q$ and side $B C=Q R$ and angle $A C B=Q P R$
But we can observe that on placing one triangle upon the other triangle, they do not cover each other completely.
So, $A B C$ and $P Q R$ have a Side-Side-Angle criterion but do not follow a congruence relation $P Q R$ and $A B C$ is not congruent.
Hence option (C) is correct.
