Question

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

ΔUVW ~ ΔUWT ~ ΔWVT
ΔUVW ~ ΔWUT ~ ΔWVT
ΔWUT ~ ΔVUW ~ ΔWVT

ΔTWV ~ ΔWUV ~ ΔUWT

Answer 1

its ok lol

Answer 2

you want the link?

Answer 3

what link?

Answer 4

The theorem needed is the following:
If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the original right triangle is similar to each of the smaller right triangles formed.

Answer 5

and then ?

Answer 7

im lost

Agreed, I am not donating my time to this site to give out answers.

@mathstudent did not dole out the answer. The problem was explained. Read the thread from beginning to end and look at the diagrams.

I provided the theorem needed to work the problem.

Answer 11

will do
