#"see explanation"#

Explanation:

#color(blue)"using the side-side-side method"#

#"(side-side-side)#

#"if the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the three"#
#"sides of another triangle then the triangles are congruent"#

#"to prove "triangleABC-=trianglePQR#

#"use the "color(blue)"distance formula"#

#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(d=sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2))color(white)(2/2)|)))#

#P(4,5)" and "Q(2,2)#

#rArrPQ=sqrt((4-2)^2+(5-2)^2)=sqrt(4+9)=sqrt13#

#A(-3,-1)" and "B(-5,-4)#

#rArrAB=sqrt((-3+5)^2+(-1+4)^2)=sqrt(4+9)=sqrt13#

#rArrPQ-=AB#

#"Repeat the above process for sides"#

#PR" and "AC" and "QR" and "BC#

#"to prove congruency"#
