r=13 and s=20
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answer is that (triangle)letter ~ (triangle)letter and how did u find r and s??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
see the angles N in both triangles are equal
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea i noticed it so TAN and USN??

angles in the same segment of a circle are equal remmbr???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
same with the third pair
hence the triangles are similar
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it because of SAS~conj.?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no uve got only one side in one of the triangles..so wt im saying is the AAA
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got answer for r and s but i need to see how it got them?

see now we come to that part
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
see in 2 similar triangles..the ratios of corresponding sides are equal...so like if ABC is similar to DEF
then
AB/DE = BC/EF= AC/DF
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so thats how we got the two values r and s
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can u put the number in that problem

yeah w8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank
OpenStudy (anonymous):
18/36=r/26=s/40
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so s/40=18/36 right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
bingo...
