Can anyone help?

superflytyguy · Answer

AAS I believe

igreen · Answer

Add them up..

If the two triangles are similar they should have the same angle measurements..add up all the angle measurements.

49 + 99 + 32

What do you get?

igreen · Answer

@SuperflyTyGuy Please no answers.

znappydooz · Answer

Thats 180...

znappydooz · Answer

Alright... so, is it AAS?

znappydooz · Answer

AAS Stands for Angle-Angle-Side, am I correct?

superflytyguy · Answer

yes

igreen · Answer

Yes, so it proves that it's congruent..

igreen · Answer

But I don't think it's AAS, since we are not given ANY sides at all..we are ONLY given angles..so what postulate do you think it is?

znappydooz · Answer

AA?

igreen · Answer

There isn't an AA postulate..lol, I think you meant AAA?

znappydooz · Answer

Haha, yes thats what I meant XD

igreen · Answer

Lol, I believe that's correct, Angle-Angle-Angle

"The best postulate that can be used to prove the triangles are similar is the AAA."

znappydooz · Answer

"The best postulate that can be used to prove the triangles are similar is the AAA because the AAA adds all the sides, which gives us 180."
Is that correct?

@iGreen

igreen · Answer

Yes..you might also want to put that we are ONLY given angle measurements, and no side lengths.

znappydooz · Answer

How's this..?

znappydooz · Answer

The best postulate that can be used to prove the triangles are similar is the AAA because there are only angle measurements given, and AAA adds all the sides and gives us 180. 
@iGreen

igreen · Answer

AAA adds all the ANGLES and gives us 180.

igreen · Answer

Other than that it's good.
