Please, some one intelligent here, could help to know, how this two triangles are similar??
the question?
|dw:1378642588072:dw| to prove if this two triangle are similar .
maybe I could use ASA to prove?? I not pretty sure
AA , if two angles on triangles equal to two angles of another triangle,they are similar :)
we don't have ASA! AA,SS
If 2 angles are equal then the 3rd must be equal..... but do we know anything about the sides? can have infinitely many triangles with the same 3 angle measures.
exactly
oh right.... we only want them to be similar, not congruent.... :) so, yeah, you just need to notice that if the 2 angles are the same, then the 3rd one is also.
Similar just means that the angles are all the same. They are the same "shape", not necessarily the same SIZE. :)
yes you are right thanks
and when, \[\frac{ S _{1} }{ S _{2} } = \frac{ S _{3} }{ S _{4} } = \frac{ S _{5} }{ S _{6} }\] they are similar :)
got it?
yes thanks a lot guys
you're welcome :)
