Could you also do 1 more questions similar to this one after?

Answer 3

Triangles SPQ and SRT are definitely similar.
They share a common angle S.
Also, since the sides are proportional, that is, SP / SR = SQ / ST, PQ will be parallel to RT (but I will have to look up the name of the postulate) and therefore, angle P = angle R and angle Q = angle T because they are corresponding angles.

Therefore triangles SPQ and SRT are similar by AAA postulate.

Can you also do this one?

Answer 6

The three angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
Angle R = 180 - 110 - 35 = 35 degrees.

Angle U = 180 - 35 - 25 = 120 degrees.

The three angles of triangle AYR are: 110, 35 and 35 degrees.
The three angles of triangle UNS are: 120, 35 and 25 degrees.

The angles are not the same and therefore the triangles are NOT similar.

Thank you. I have more questions, would you rather me post them here or in different threads?

Answer 8

I have to other people's questions. Post them in the general area and someone else may answer.
