@RadEn can you see it now? i took a screenshot

OpenStudy (reemii):

I'd say "C". Because the equality shows ratios of lengths of segments that all start in the vertex B.

OpenStudy (reemii):

and i don't see how it could be "A" or "B", because angles A and B cannot really be linked together.

Thank you so much! :)

OpenStudy (reemii):

Does that seem easy, or correct to you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's really the only one that makes sense, I had guessed C as well but I just wasn't sure.

OpenStudy (reemii):

(=
