Answer 15

It's a really confusing one

Answer 16

I think I understand. You have two triangles that look like this, right?

Answer 17

It doesn't have any pictures in the question so I don't have those

Answer 18

What I did was I used the similar line lengths to find out which proportions did not work, since similar triangles have similar angles.

Answer 19

Line LM has one tick mark, and so does line XY. They aren't the same, but this is just for my reference. Since the two triangles are proportional, the corresponding sides should be proportional as well.

Answer 20

Going back to my reference, the line segments should have the same number of tick marks to show the proportions. This word problem is to catch you off guard with the names of each line. If the tick marks aren't even, then the proportion might not always be true.
