Answer 3

Hints:

You use the AA similarity theorem and you use the fact that

angle NPM = angle TNM (both are 50 degrees)

and

angle PMN = angle TMN (shared or common angle)

Answer 4

@jim_thompson5910 I still dont understand how to do the proof ?

Answer 5

well your basic proof will look like this


angle NPM = angle TNM (both are 50 degrees)
angle PMN = angle TMN (shared or common angle)
triangle NMT is similar to triangle NMP (AA similarity theorem)
