Help please? What one additional piece of information would prove triangle TSU ~ triangle HGI? A. angle t=angle h B. angle u=angle I C. GI is twice the length of SU D. any of these would be sufficient to prove the tiangles similar. Hangon let me draw it quick:)

The scale factor of the two similar triangles is 1 to 2. So, knowing this: GI is twice the length of SU would cause the triangles to be similar by SAS ~ theorem But, if we know either one of A. angle t=angle h and B. angle u=angle I, then the triangles would be similar by AA ~ Postulate. So, any of the options a, b, c would work.

ok, but I can only chose one answer, what would you think would be the most reliable answer>

Directrix (directrix):

D. any of these would be sufficient to prove the tiangles similar. That is what I would choose. Note: the notification @ signal is not consistently working. Something went wrong last weekend.
