- DEquivalence relation
Correct answer
D. Equivalence relation
Step-by-step solution
Let denote the set of all triangles in a plane.
Let be the relation on defined by \left(\Delta_1, \Delta_2\right) \inR\Rightarrow\Delta_1 \cong \Delta_2\Delta \in S\Delta_1 \cong \Delta_2 \Rightarrow(\Delta, \Delta) \in R \forall \Delta \in S \Rightarrow R\Delta_1, \Delta_2 \in \mathrm{~S}, then is symmętric
(iii) Again, let such that \left(\Delta_1, \Delta_2\right)\in R is transitive.
is an equivalence relation.
