FROG is a trapezoid. Is (angle)RGO ~with= (angle)FRG? Is (angle)GOF ~with= (angle)RFO? Why is (triangle)GOS ~ (triangle)RFS? t =?, s =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is t referring the the angle or the side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Been a while since i've one geometry. But for the first 2 questions I would answer yes. They are parallel lines cut by a transversal, so alternate interior angles are = (I think that's what they're called anyway)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That would make the triangles similar by AAA (isn't that one of those theroms?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what about (triangle)LETTER ~ (triangle)LETTER

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you can use ratios to find the lengths of t and s. Just make sure you use the sides that are similar to each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I would say triangle ~ triangle by AAA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aren't angles across from each other called vertical angles. So by alternate interior angles and vertical angles, you'd have all 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i have 2 angles i need one more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should have all 3. The 2 that were questions 1 and 2. then the vertical angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1) and 2) sim ,because alternate interior angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

math he right by AAA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it but now find t and s but show work
