What is the relationship between isosceles trapezoid MNOP and isosceles trapezoid EFGH?
congruent
similar
no relationship
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
how long is segment EF?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its it similar
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
can you tell me how long EF is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
count how many units you go down to go from E to F
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no, it's actually 3
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
now notice how if you go from M to N, you also go 3 units
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
do you see this?

yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so no relationship
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so *
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so EF = MN
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
basically EF and MN are congruent
if you can show that OP and HG are congruent, then the two trapezoids are congruent

so its
similar
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
does OP = HG?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nope
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you sure?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
count the units to confirm
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait they both are 10
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
close, both are 9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so they both are similar
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
they are, but they are also congruent
so congruent is the answer
