(GEOMETRY HELP) Triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR. Which equation is correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hartnn (hartnn):

in similar triangles,ratio of corresponding sides are equal... so,tell me which is the side opposite to angle A? and to which angle A is equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn I got 36

hartnn (hartnn):

what is 36?? how can u get measure of any angle,when no information is given...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn Whoops sorry I thought it was another question that I had that looked a lot like it. but R

hartnn (hartnn):

ok,tell me which is the side opposite to angle A? and to which angle A is equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn R??

hartnn (hartnn):

nopes,see the sign in the sign in angle A to which sign does it match in triangle PQR??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn whoa what is wrong with me, I meant to type P. I'm sorry I'm being so confusing! My mind is everywhere

hartnn (hartnn):

right :) P is correct since angle A=P the sides opposite to these angle are corresponding so we take the ratio of a/p got this? now u find another such pair of congruent angles......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok! Yay!! haha I got that part. I'm gonna say C & R? :)

hartnn (hartnn):

very good,so the ratio is c/r now since the triangles are similar,these ratios are equal so u get c/r=a/b got this?

hartnn (hartnn):

sorry,c/r=a/p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh I get it now! I see it. Thank you so much :) I've never seen these before so this clears up a lot. I appreciate it.

hartnn (hartnn):

your welcome :)
