Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Solve Question 1.

    The question states that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle PQR (△ABC≅△PQR\triangle ABC \cong \triangle PQR).
    When two triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides and corresponding angles are equal.
    The order of the vertices in the congruence statement indicates which parts correspond.
    A corresponds to P.
    B corresponds to Q.
    C corresponds to R.

    We are given that ∠BAC=∠QPR\angle BAC = \angle QPR. This is consistent with the congruence statement, as ∠BAC\angle BAC is the angle at vertex A, and ∠QPR\angle QPR is the angle at vertex P.
    The question asks which side BC is equal to in triangle PQR.
    Since B corresponds to Q and C corresponds to R, the side BC in △ABC\triangle ABC corresponds to side QR in △PQR\triangle PQR.
    Therefore, side BC is equal to side QR.
    The answer is QR\boxed{QR}.

  2. Solve Question 2.

    The image shows two triangles, △PQR\triangle PQR and △TUV\triangle TUV. We need to show that they are congruent.
    Let's examine the markings on the triangles:
    In △PQR\triangle PQR:

    • Side PQ has two tick marks.
    • Side PR has one tick mark.
    • Angle Q is marked with a right angle symbol (90∘90^\circ).

    In △TUV\triangle TUV:

    • Side TU has two tick marks.
    • Side TV has one tick mark.
    • Angle U is marked with a right angle symbol (90∘90^\circ).

    Comparing the corresponding parts:

    1. Side PQ has two tick marks, and side TU has two tick marks. So, PQ=TUPQ = TU.
    2. Angle Q is a right angle, and angle U is a right angle. So, ∠Q=∠U=90∘\angle Q = \angle U = 90^\circ.
    3. Side PR has one tick mark, and side TV has one tick mark. So, PR=TVPR = TV.

    We have two sides and a non-included angle (SSA). However, for right-angled triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg are equal, the triangles are congruent by the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) congruence theorem.
    In △PQR\triangle PQR, PR is the hypotenuse (opposite the right angle Q). PQ is a leg.
    In △TUV\triangle TUV, TV is the hypotenuse (opposite the right angle U). TU is a leg.

    We have:

    • Hypotenuse PR=TVPR = TV (both have one tick mark).
    • Leg PQ=TUPQ = TU (both have two tick marks).
    • Both triangles are right-angled at Q and U respectively.

    Therefore, △PQR≅△TUV\triangle PQR \cong \triangle TUV by the Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) congruence theorem.
    The answer is HL Congruence Theorem\boxed{\text{HL Congruence Theorem}}.

  3. Solve Question 3.

    The question states that △ABE\triangle ABE is congruent to △BDC\triangle BDC (△ABE≅△BDC\triangle ABE \cong \triangle BDC).
    We are given the following lengths:
    AE = 5 cm
    EB = 3 cm
    AB = 7 cm

    We need to find the measure of side BC.
    Since the triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides are equal.
    From the congruence statement △ABE≅△BDC\triangle ABE \cong \triangle BDC:

    • Side AB corresponds to side BD. So, AB=BDAB = BD.
    • Side BE corresponds to side DC. So, BE=DCBE = DC.
    • Side AE corresponds to side BC. So, AE=BCAE = BC.

    We are given AE=5AE = 5 cm.
    Since AE=BCAE = BC, then BC=5BC = 5 cm.
    The measure of side BC is 5 cm\boxed{5 \text{ cm}}.
