Are the two triangles below similar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Select one: a. Yes; they have congruent corresponding angles. b. Yes; they have proportional corresponding sides. c. No; they do not have proportional corresponding sides. d. No; they do not have congruent corresponding angles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i knew it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

are you sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe its D

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

are you really sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK @nincompoop whats the answer

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

we don't give out answers

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

calculate the angles and see if there's any similarity between the two triangles :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did it and got 190

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for adding all the angles

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

first question should come to mind - the total internal degrees of a triangle should equal to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

now, are those two even triangles to begin with if they each have greater than 180 internal angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

you can't have a triangle with more than 180 internal angle degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the other angle would be 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add them up fpr urself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of the big triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its d!!!!

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

yeh. it should total 180 and never go more than that. so your missing angle is more than what it is required for them to be triangle. if you add the missing angles to make a 180, you will see that their angles aren't ________ <-- lots of hint there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you guys r making it so much harder then it really is

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

nope it isn't making it harder, it is proving your answer. math is all about proofs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol your the one who asked the question!! @Edge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True that @nincompoop

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all i asked was for u guys to check my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no you did not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

you didn't even have one solid answer to begin with. you were just guessing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so was i lol but thank you @nincompoop for teaching me somthing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WHATTT I ASKED IF C WAS THE CORRECT ANSWER READ BOY

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um no you didnt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg!!

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

those who complain and never listen will never be successful. show more gratitude that someone walked you through the minute details.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TRUEE @nincompoop

OpenStudy (anonymous):

says who

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u two losers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

imm going to be more successful then both of u.. im better at everything then u too im the real best in the world

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
