I am thinking that this is B. >, If i'm wrong please correct me! :) Will give medal for right answer!
You're wrong... when you scale 2 figures, the angle measurements stay the same.
Do you know what I mean when I say scale a figure?
No??
I think it would be C =, because the angles have the same measurment, just the shapes are different sizes (different scales)
When you change the size of a shape and they're SIMILAR, meaning, there's a common ratio between the side lengths, the angle measurements are kept the same.. does that make sense?
Yea, I think so.
If they're similar, the angles will be the same.
Wait, nevermind.... the triangles aren't similar.
Their not?
if they were similar, line ED would be 9
Nope thy're not.
*they're
here i will just work it out to check xD
18 / 12 = 1.5 8 / 4 = 2
look at the smaller triangle is it right angled? see if it fits the pythagoras theorem
@iGreen I almost wanna say that it cannot be determined
Me too, but I want to be sure.
If it fits pythagoras then <E + <F = 90 degrees
Pythagorean theorem does not work here :/ and we would need to know 2/3 angles to determine @BloomLocke367
Okay. so @KrazyKricket , I'd go with it can't be determined.. there's no way to KNOW. Does that make sense?
@KrazyKricket ^^^^^
you can use pythagors try squaring the hyopotenuse and the other 2 sides in the large triangle
if the square on htpotenuse > sum of squares on the other 2 sides then the triangle is obtuse and <B + <C will be less than 90 degrees if it is less than <B + <C is greater than 90 degrees
18^2 + 8^2 = 324 + 64 (2sqrt96^2 = 4 * 96
