PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!


Complete the pairs of corresponding parts if RST = TXY .
https://media.glynlyon.com/g_geo_2012/4/page49a.gif

S =?

∠XYT
∠XTY
∠TXY

Answer 1

Which angle is also in the same place on the other triangle?

Answer 2

STR =??
∠XYT<?this
∠XTY
∠TXY


RS =?
TX<?this
TY
XY


ST =?
TX
TY
XYis it this?<

Answer 3

So s equals XYT?

Answer 4

The letter in the middle is the angle. So that is why S=TXY
The T and the Y are the angles next to it. Thats why when you write it out it says TXY, Because X is in the middle. Did this make sense? I can explain it again....

Answer 5

It does kinda make sense.

Answer 6

Are my other answers right?

Answer 7

The 2 angles in the middle are equal to each other because they are on the same line.

Answer 8

So if you think about it, the 2nd triangle is a reflection of the 1st. So you can pretend there is a mirror in the middle

Answer 9

So knowning this, you can say:
R=Y
T=T
and
S=X

Answer 10

So then the first one would be XTY. Because T=T. (they both have the T in the middle)

Answer 11

I feel like I'm explaining it kinda confusingly, if I am let me know ok? :)

Answer 12

The 2nd one was close! But remember the 2nd triangle is a reflection, so what would the answer be now?

Answer 13

lets see.. so the second is xy?

Answer 14

Yep!!!! :D
and now what's the 3rd?

Answer 15

xt?

Answer 16

Yep! :D

Answer 17

So do you understand everything?

Answer 18

Yes, but could you help explain one more for me? I am so confused when it comes to triangles! lol

Answer 19

Wait, then would RT=?
be ty?

Answer 20

This next one confuses me a little because the middle section of the triangles.

https://media.glynlyon.com/g_geo_2012/4/page49b.gif

A =?

∠FCE
∠FEC
∠EFC
Does is equal FCE?

Answer 21

Lol ok :)
So you know how the triangles are connected at that line at the bottom? That means that the angle T are the same for both triangles, because it is on the same line.
So if you think about it, now T is on the left side of the 2nd triangle, while it is still on the right of the 1st triangle. That is why the 2nd triangle is a reflection of the 1st. Because T is on the opposite side.
And yes RT=TY

Answer 22

YUCK! That second problem XD
Well, look at it this way, there are 2 big triangles, ABD, and EFC. They are just cutting into each other. and kinda reflecting each other. So basically, it's like the same thing as the first problem except the triangles are crossing into each other

Answer 23

So that is why A= E

Answer 24

I figured it equals E since you told me its like a mirror. But does that mean A=FCE?

Answer 25

No, because the E has to be in the middle. look at this example
