Prove
(hint, first prove existence, then prove uniqueness)
Solution
Given that AB =DE
Consider cutting the triangle ABC from the plane and pasting so that AB lies along DE with A on E
Since AB =DE, B coincindes with E.
Now we have the vertex C not pasted.
C can be pasted either on the top of DE or at the bottom of DE
Let the vertex new be named as F
Now we have ABC congruent to DEF and DEF (Bottom)
Hence proved.
------------------------------------------
Uniqueness: Let DEF congruent to ABC.
If possible let there be two triangles DEF and DEF\' lying on the same side of DE and congruent to ABC.
Then BC = EF and also BC = EF\' by CPCT property
Also angle ABC = Angle DEF = Angle DEF\'
This is possible for the same side of DE if and only if F coincides with F\'
Thus uniqueness is proved
