Answer 2

can't see the pic

Answer 3

OK HOLD ON

Answer 4

you should be able to figure out what the angle are for each of the triangles, right?

if two triangles are similar then their corresponding angles are congruent.

Answer 5

wait i'm confused so how do i tell

Answer 6

is it because they have the same angle 60*

Answer 7

what's the \(m\angle E\)?

Answer 8

60 right?

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

what is the sum of all of the angles of any triangle?

Answer 11

180 i think

Answer 12

yep. so use that to get the \(m\angle E\).

Answer 13

so do i divide 180 by 60

Answer 14

no, write the equation... do you know what sum means?

Answer 15

yea addition

Answer 16

exactly... so the sum of the angles in any triangle must be \(180^{\circ}\).

that means \(m\angle C +m\angle D +m\angle E = 180^{\circ}\)

Answer 17

right so m∠60+m∠53+m∠67=180
So E is 67

Answer 18

very good!

now do the same for the other triangle.

Answer 19

G is 53

Answer 20

because its congruent to D right

Answer 21

oh, and \(m\angle C=60^{\circ}\) not \(m\angle 60\), okay?

Answer 22

ok sry

Answer 23

no, \(m\angle G = 53^{\circ}\) because 53+60+67 = 180.

then because the corresponding angles are congruent, you can say that the triangles are similar.

Answer 24

oh, and no need to apologize, just want you to use the symbology correctly : )

Answer 25

true ok thx so much your really helped now i understand

Answer 26

awesome!!! keep up the good work!
