Question

Will give medal. PLEEEASEE HELLPPP MEE!! Which of the following postulates can be used to prove the two triangles below are similar?
Answers,

AA
SAS
SSS
SSA

Answer 1

You have three postulates for proving triangles similar: AA, SAS, and SSS
Pick the one(s) that apply.

Answer 2

Im not sure how? Please explain. Thanks

Answer 3

Find the third angle of the first triangle.

Answer 4

I got 12. Is that right

Answer 5

How did you get 12?

Answer 6

180-55-23=102. I meant 102

Answer 7

Are the triangles similar?

Answer 8

no there not

Answer 9

That is correct. But you should write "no they're not."

Answer 10

ok. So which postulate is it??

Answer 11

If they are not similar, how can you prove they are similar?

Answer 12

Well i have to enter one of those answers.

Answer 13

Then you have posted the problem incorrectly.

Answer 14

I agree with Mertsj

The two triangles aren't similar, so there should be that option

Answer 15

but if you didn't know that and wanted to prove they were (or weren't), then you have 2 angles (which you can use to find the third missing angle easily)

so that means you use the AA similarity theorem to show if they're similar or not

the question is oddly worded, but I think that's what they meant

Answer 16

Yea Jim u got it. Thanks
