AAS

anonymous · Answer

AAS for what?

dumbcow · Answer

similar by AA postulate
they share angle P
angle R = angle Q

dumbcow · Answer

geometry proofs are the worst...only thing in math i didnt like :{

anonymous · Answer

Both triangles share a congruent angle, an adjacent congruent angle, then a congruent side. Therefore they are congruent by AAS theorem.

dumbcow · Answer

@FutureMathProfessor , no you just have to show they are similar

anonymous · Answer

So how do I put the column? It's kind of confusing.

anonymous · Answer

That's what I meant

anonymous · Answer

I know that the statements go on the left and the reasons the right, but I don't know how to actually put in the properties and givens and stuff.

dumbcow · Answer

statements                     reasons
<PRQ = <PQS                 Given (30 degrees)
<QPR =<QPS                 corresponding angles property (maybe?)
similar                             AA postulate
