how do you get that though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e.cociuba, we're not supposed to just give them the answer. It's against CoC.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Match the corresponding sides. WV corresponds to GF, and WT corresponds to GH, so 25/35 or 60/84. If you flip both fractions, it's 35/25 or 84/60.

It's okay, I was wondering if you could just explain it to me please :)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I thought I just did. I'll explain again. You notice in the drawing that the left quadrilateral has a single mark on angle G?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The right quadrilateral has a single mark on angle W.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

That means angles G and W are congruent and corresponding.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Then angles F and V have two marks each, so they are congruent and corresponding.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

That means side GF corresponds to side WV. Since these quadrilaterals are parallelograms, TU is congruent to WV. So WV = 25 and GF = 35, so the ratio is 25/35 or 35/25.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thats not an option?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I noticed.

so i dont believe it's correct \:
