Question

Help please?? I am attaching a picture.

Answer 1

they are congruent

Answer 2

But how are they congruent? I learned it last year, but this year I forget.

Answer 3

Because of the 2 lines that are the same on the bottom of both triangles, and the 1 side thingy that the same on the side. Also, they have corresponding parts like the angles A and B on both. :)

Answer 4

medal plz :]

Answer 5

Thank you! Could you help me with one more?

Answer 6

no prob, and yes :p

Answer 7

It looks like the what might be missing out of the problem statement, that which zepdrix alluded to, is that PQR is similar to TSR. Is that what you are intending?

Answer 8

Ifthat is what you are intending, then PQ is congruent to TS, RS is congruent to RQ, RP is congruent to RT. So are corresponding angles.

Answer 9

Yes they are congruent and similar, but it is asking for congruent parts.

Answer 10

Notice how the second triangle is "flipped over" when matching up sides.

Answer 11

So only the angles and sides?

Answer 12

oh okay

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

okay thanks SO much!

Answer 15

you put triangle PQR symbol triangle TSR...all you have to do is sort of distribute, so P=T, Q=s, and obviously R=R.:-)

Answer 16

yw :)

Answer 17

anything else?

Answer 18

Could you check me answer for this? I said Triangles with congruent sides do correspond. Am I missing something or did I get it wrong?

Answer 19

ok give me a sec

Answer 20

Okay

Answer 21

A student says that since all isosceles right triangles are similar, all isosceles triangles that are similar must be right triangles

Answer 22

Thank you SO SO much!!

Answer 23

Answer 24

Anything else? ^,^

Answer 25

Nope. Thanks again!

Answer 26
