"Are the two triangles similar? How do you know?"

SAS SSS or AA?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SAS. Even though the middle angle isn't specified, it's hinted because the two triangles are connected together. They're vertical angles.

OpenStudy (danjs):

not looking for congruence, similarity

OpenStudy (danjs):

The sides are in equal proportions\[\frac{ 8 }{ 16 } = \frac{ 9 }{ 18 }\] You have to spin one of the triangles around to get the right sides

OpenStudy (danjs):

the SAS things are to test congruence, same triangles, not similar

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

as izuru pointed out, these two angles are congruent because they are vertical angles |dw:1438744084529:dw|

Thanks!

OpenStudy (danjs):

congruent?
