Answer 1

(1)


In ∆MST and ∆TBM,

side MS ≅ side TB (given)
∠MST ≅ ∠TBM (right angle)
side MT is common

∴ By Hypotenuse-side test, ∆MST ≅ ∆TBM.

∴ side ST ≅ side MB,
∠SMT ≅ ∠BTM,
∠STM ≅ ∠BMT.

(2)


In ∆PRQ and ∆TRS,

side PR ≅ side RT (given)
side QR ≅ side RS (given)
∠PRQ ≅ ∠SRT (vertically opposite angles)

∴ By SAS test, ∆PRQ ≅ ∆TRS.
∴ side PQ ≅ side ST,
∠QPR ≅ ∠STR,
∠PQR ≅ ∠TSR.

(3)


In ∆DHC and ∆DFC,

∠DCH ≅ ∠DCF (given)
∠DHC ≅ ∠DFC (given)
side DC is common

∴ By AAS test, ∆DHC ≅ ∆DFC.
∴ side DH ≅ side DF,
side HC ≅ side FC,
∠HDC ≅ ∠FDC.
