If quadrilateral ABCD ~ quadrilateral RSVT, which of the following is NOT a true statement? ∠B ≅ ∠S ∠A ≅ ∠V ∠C ≅ ∠V ∠D ≅ ∠T
mmmmmmm im not sure... XD
first draw a picture
so u can visualize it..
Just notice the order in which the vertices are named. In congruency and similarities, the order matter and they correspond to each other.
Hint: the corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent A corresponds to R (first letter of each) B corresponds to S (second letter of each) etc etc
sorry not triangles, but polygons
ABCD RSVT A and R are congruent (first letter in each polygon) B and S are congruent (second letter in each polygon) C and V are congruent (third letter in each polygon) D and T are congruent (fourth letter in each polygon)
im so confused
Because quadrilateral ABCD ~ quadrilateral RSVT we can compare ABCD to RSVT and we see that A and R are the first letters, so they correspond and this means ∠A ≅ ∠R ----------------- B and S are the second letters, so they correspond and this means ∠B ≅ ∠S ----------------- C and V are the third letters, so they correspond and this means ∠C ≅ ∠V ----------------- D and T are the fourth letters, so they correspond and this means ∠D ≅ ∠T
so ∠A ≅ ∠V is NOT a true statement?!
that is correct, it should be ∠A ≅ ∠R
or ∠C ≅ ∠V
:) ok
