Question

Are the two triangles below similar?

Answer 1

No, because there are not two pairs of congruent corresponding angles.

Yes, because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles.

No, because the corresponding sides are not proportional.

Yes, because the corresponding sides are proportional.

Answer 2

what do you think is the missing angle in each?

Answer 3

c i think

Answer 4

I notice that the angles of both triangles are 45, 55, and 80. Does that help any?

Answer 5

I know one of the angles are congruent

Answer 6

What do you mean? Each triangle has a 45 degree angle
Each triangle has a 55 degree angle
Each triangle has an 80 degree angle.

Answer 7

the missing angles are 45 and 80 . So all of the triangles have the same angle measurements

Answer 8

So clearly, all three of the angles in one triangle are congruent to all three of the angles in the second triangle.

Answer 9

Sooo what your saying is TUV=WXY?

Answer 10

Im saying TUV= XWY

Answer 11

What is the question you are trying to answer?

Answer 12

Are the two triangles below similar?

Answer 13

No, because there are not two pairs of congruent corresponding angles.

Yes, because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles.

No, because the corresponding sides are not proportional.

Yes, because the corresponding sides are proportional.

Answer 14

And what are the ways you have of proving triangles similar?

Answer 15

if they were proportional the whatever the ratio is from one to the other

Answer 16

The angle measurements

Answer 17

Could you be more specific? How many angles? State the theorem

Answer 18

so IF ABC= DEF
then ab is 3 times more than DE then BC should be 3 times more than EF

Answer 19

Thats all the question says it doesn't say what theorems to use

Answer 20

The problem assumes that you know something about proving triangles similar. Do you?

Answer 21

Now im even more confused :-/

Answer 22

Have you ever proved any triangles similar?

Answer 23

Take a look at that. Maybe that will refresh your memory.

Answer 24

Ohh yes the sas asa sss and aaa

Answer 25

Do you know what those mean?

Answer 26

Yes side - angle- side, angle side angle , side side side , angle angle angle

Answer 27

Do any of those work for the triangles you are trying to prove similar?

Answer 28

side angle side

Answer 29

or side angle angle

Answer 30

i know the answer i not D
