It is given that $\triangle ABC \cong \triangle RPQ$. Is it true to say that $BC = QR$? Why?
(B) It is false to say that $BC = QR$.
Since $\triangle ABC \cong \triangle RPQ$,the corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal $(CPCT)$.
By matching the vertices,we have $A \leftrightarrow R$,$B \leftrightarrow P$,and $C \leftrightarrow Q$.
Therefore,the side $BC$ corresponds to the side $PQ$.
Thus,$BC = PQ$,not $QR$.
