Are the two triangles below similar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, because the corresponding sides are not proportional Yes, because the corresponding sides are proportional No, because there are not two pairs of congruent corresponding angles Yes, because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles

HINT: work out the measure of the missing angles in each triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

well the sum of the three angles in any triangle = 180 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so the measure of angle M is 25 and the measure of R is 105?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's either A or C

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

Ok so look at the angles in the 2 triangles - do they satisfy the last option?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

not A or C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I get it! It's D

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

right
