Question

I have tried figuring this out, but I really need help.


What similarity statement can you write relating the three triangles in the diagram?

They are all triangles.
o Triangle JMK ~ MLK ~ JLM
o Triangle JMK ~ LMK~ JLM
o Triangle JLM ~ MLK ~ JKM
o Triangle JKM ~ MKL ~ MJL

Answer 1

Use the fact, that in a right triangle, sum of two acute angles is also 90degrees.

Answer 2

So you calculate all the angles like that and then, of course, triangles are similar when they have all the same angles.

Answer 3

Okay...so angles M and L are congruent and angles M and J are congruent.

Answer 4

Which angle M? There are three, actually.

Answer 5

These are the three triangles, right?
