 Yes; they have proportional corresponding sides
 No; they do not have proportional corresponding sides
 No; they do not have congruent corresponding angles

ganeshie8 · Answer

do both triangles have same angles ?

stormswan · Answer

well, the 70 degrees one..

ganeshie8 · Answer

yes what about the missing angle, can u find it  ?

ganeshie8 · Answer

angle U in first triangle and angle V in second triangle

stormswan · Answer

uhh, no I don't know  how.

ganeshie8 · Answer

use this :
angles add up to 180 in a triangle

ganeshie8 · Answer

70 + 28 + U = 180

solve U

stormswan · Answer

82?

stormswan · Answer

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 · Answer

try again

stormswan · Answer

92?

ganeshie8 · Answer

Yes!

stormswan · Answer

no.... I'm pretty sure 82 is right.....

ganeshie8 · Answer

92 is actually correct, try again maybe

ganeshie8 · Answer

Oops srry, you're correct! my mistake

ganeshie8 · Answer

82 is correct!

stormswan · Answer

bc, 70 + 28 is 98 and then 98 + 82= 180...

ganeshie8 · Answer

looks good, so the angles in first triangle are :  {28, 70, 82}

ganeshie8 · Answer

similarly find the third angle in the other triangle

stormswan · Answer

18?

stormswan · Answer

is that right?

ganeshie8 · Answer

Yes so the angles in second triangle are : {18, 70, 92}

ganeshie8 · Answer

do both triangles have same angles ?

stormswan · Answer

no, except for 70

ganeshie8 · Answer

they dont have congruent corresponding angles

so the triangles are NOT similar

stormswan · Answer

so it would be c?

ganeshie8 · Answer

it would be the last option right
