I'm gonna go with answer choice 3.....T,D are congruent and U,E are congruent anyne correct me if I'm wrong

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

You're gonna have to show that, though. Why deviate from the given? F and V are both given to be right angles :P

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

you must have three angles equal. it's already given that two of the angles are \(90^{\circ}\). given that information, you can say that the third angle is \(180-(35 + 90)\). we have three angles equal, hence the fulfillment of AAA similarity postulate.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

You don't need three angles, dmezz :) Two would suffice. If two triangles have two pairs of congruent angles, then it would imply that their third angles are congruent too :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now im confusesd ._.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Anyway, you're just asked to point out two pairs of angles that are congruent, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

T and D are already shown to be congruent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be the answer number 4?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yeah :) Say you know nothing, except what the picture shows you. It shows you that T and D are congruent. It also shows that both V and F are right angles (because of the square indicator) Therefore, since all right angles are congruent, V and F are congruent :0

Thanks! :)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

No problem :)
