उत्तर
In triangles ABC and PQR, AB = AC, ∠C = ∠P and ∠B = ∠Q. The two triangles are isosceles but not congruent.
Explanation:
In triangle ABC,
AB = AC ...[Given]
∠C = ∠B ...[Angle opposite to equal sides are equal]
So, in triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.
∠B = ∠Q ...[Given]
∠C = ∠P
∠P = ∠Q ...[Since, ∠C = ∠B]
QR = PR ...[Sides opposite to equal angles are equal]
So, in triangle PQR is also an isosceles triangle.
Hence, both triangle are isosceles but not congruent.

ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and D is a point on BC such that AD ⊥ BC (Figure). To prove that ∠BAD = ∠CAD, a student proceeded as follows:
In ∆ABD and ∆ACD,

Therefore, ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD (AAS)
So, ∠BAD = ∠CAD (CPCT)
