its ok to not be sure.  what are your thoughts about it tho.

anonymous · Answer

i noticed that copy and pasting it might have not been the best idea but here

amistre64 · Answer

same info ...

would you agree that similar shapes have similar names?

anonymous · Answer

from a personal standpoint no because you cant just infer without details

amistre64 · Answer

M  J  U  T
H  P  S  C 

t=c, and u=s  so the angle options are true.

amistre64 · Answer

by convention, if 2 shapes are similar, their names are similar

anonymous · Answer

so are u saying the answer is the last one ?

amistre64 · Answer

the line segment options match up line for line;  but one of them is off.  the ratio is 4:3 and one of them has a 3:4 setup

amistre64 · Answer

no, im saying that the angle options are both true, so it cant be either of those.

anonymous · Answer

so there is a typo or something ?

amistre64 · Answer

no, there is no typo.  you are asked to pick which statement is in error.

anonymous · Answer

ooo ok i see what our saying now :)

amistre64 · Answer

if we have a ratio of 4:3  then we need to keep the respective parts in the same order.

one of the line segments is out of order

anonymous · Answer

c =D?

amistre64 · Answer

M J U T : H P S C
      4      :      3
    HP      :     MJ

 notice that HP is not in MJUT,  and MJ is not in HPSC

so they are out of order
