Which pair of triangles is similar? Triangles PQR and QTS Triangles QTS and SQR Triangles PQR and RQS Triangles QTS and SPR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tips?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this another really easy question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am finding this to be very strange because I can find all 4 options correct by AA similarity...strange...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the triangle has right angles; does that help any?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know, but I am finding that all 4 options are correct...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ParthKohli Do you find that in a way you can find all 4 options to be correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

champion in problem solving; nice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what happen to parth?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, he messaged me and apparently he fails at geometry, but good at everything else lol ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we need zepp ASAP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is he online?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Zepp is online...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but he is not returning my messages...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got an idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think agent is going to help us...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so guys

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cal and I have been having trouble figuring out this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any tips from a mentor and lifesaver?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah... tanagrams! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

eh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That reminds me of Neji from Naruto...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe you're looking at choice #3/C because look at that angle across, it's a bisector right, talking about line segment QR here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

choice 3...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that makes sense...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It splits the angle in half, a 90 degree angle in half, so if the sum of all angles for ANY triangle has to be 180 degrees...? ;-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it does

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there we go, all four pencils working :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Angles QPR, QRP, QRS, and QSR are all congruent, I believe

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

its the 2 smaller right angled triangles they each have a right angle and angle tsq = angle pqr (alternate angles)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I sorta understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@cwrw238 would you agree line segment QR is a bisector?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, I don't understand because I can still prove them all similar...so don't trust me since I'm probably doing something wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Triangles PQR and RQS since these triangles share a bisected right angle, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ganeshie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Angles PQR and RQS have to be 90 degrees, because of the symbol denoting it as a right angle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If they are both 90, and QR connects to the height... Hold on I'm going to freakin draw this :-D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any comments, Ganeshie?
