Question

How can I prove that triangle NMT is similar to triangle NMP?

Answer 1

They have one congruent angle (the 50 degree angle) and one common angle (angle M) and a common side.

Answer 2

what could i use to prove it before i can say they're similar?

Answer 3

Tell which parts are congruent

Answer 4

so the two angles NPT and MNT are congruent and NT can equal NT because of the reflexive property. but thats all i can come up with

Answer 5

Angle M is congruent to itself

Answer 6

What would i use to prove that?

Answer 7

How do you prove NT is equal to NT?

Answer 8

reflexive property? i can use that again?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

What would I use next since I have the parts that are congruent listed. how can i prove its similar?

Answer 11

ASA similarity

Answer 12

Or you could just say AA similarity since you have two angles.

Answer 13

I'm on the phone and not very focused.

Answer 14

so using the AA similarity i would use angles PNM and MPN?
