3(a)
1. Identify the three pairs of equal corresponding sides.
In and ,
given,
given,
common side.
2. State the congruence conclusion with the correct test.
Since all three corresponding sides are equal,
by SSS.
In and ,
given,
given,
common side.
Therefore by SSS congruence.
3(b)
1. Use congruence from part (a) to identify equal corresponding angles and relate them to triangle $TBC$.
From part (a), .
Therefore corresponding angles are equal:
.
Since lies on and ,
.
Hence , so is isosceles.
Since , corresponding angles are equal.
So .
Since lies on and , .
Hence , so is isosceles.
