Triangle RST is dilated to create triangle UVW on a coordinate grid. You are given that angle T is congruent to angle W. What other information is required to prove that the two triangles are similar? Segments RS and UV are congruent. Angle S is congruent to angle V. Segment RT is congruent to segment UW, and segment ST is congruent to segment VW. Angle S is congruent to angle U.

@phi

OpenStudy (phi):

you need to show 2 of the corresponding angles are congruent. (the 3rd automatically will be congruent if the other 2 are) when they say RST matches UVW, they mean the point (angle) at R matches with U, S with V and T with W they give you T with W you need to show either R/U or S/V to be congruent

OpenStudy (phi):

in other words, when they write R S T in that order, the exact order U V W means R with U, S with V, and T with W you want to show 2 out of those 3 angles are congruent

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

so its B @phi

OpenStudy (phi):

yes
