@phi need your help please

Answer 2

find the ratio of corresponding sides. Can you do that ?

Answer 3

TR corresponds to WU
write the length of TR divided by the length of WU and simplify. Can you do that ?

Answer 4

6/5

Answer 5

thnxs

Answer 6

now do the same thing for the other sides they give you. SR/VU

Answer 7

But TR /WU is 15/18 (that is not 6/5!)

Answer 8

5/6

Answer 9

sory i calculated as 18/15

Answer 10

that's ok... now to figure out the answer. We know the triangles are similar
triangle RST is smaller than triangle UVW ( RST = 5/6 * UVW )

notice that the order of the letters matters : R to S to T has to match up with U to V to W
(because RS matches up with UV, and ST matches VW)

if you put a different order, such as RST matches WUV, that would mean RS matches WU (first 2 letters) and ST matches UV (2nd 2 letters) and that is wrong.

Answer 11

ohh B right

Answer 12

so to go over that again:

both triangles have the same angle 32º
the corresponding sides RT/UW = 15/18 = 5/6
and RS/UV = 10/12 = 5/6
so the corresponding sides have the same ratio of 5/6. That shows the triangles are similar.

then we need to know that the order matters when we write down the triangles:
RST matches UVW

notice if we said STR, then would would match that with VWU (hope that makes sense)

Answer 13

yes it makes sense and thnxs alot
