Please Help!! Complete the pairs of corresponding parts if △RST ≅ △TXY. ∠S = ∠XYT ∠XTY ∠TXY

I already told you! do you want the explanation?

OpenStudy (countrygirl1431):

it would help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok when they refer to an angel with three letter like TXY, it's the same thing as when you draw a line from point T to pointy X and then to Y you will see that this draws an angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the point that forms the angle (for example in TXY) is X because he is in the middle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if the 2 triangles are similar or equal to each other (when they use this term similar or equal to, is that the angles of the 2 triangles are the same and are at the same place

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example R would be equal to T and S would be equal to X and T would be equal to Y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

S=X <XYT=<STR <XTY=<SRT <TXY=<RST Corresponding means similar in character, form, or function. <S is corresponding to <X because they are both in the middle. When there are more than one you just place them in the same order. Kind of like a matching game.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so angle S is the same as angle TXY because the corners match together!

if you don't get it please tell me what you didn't get
